Penth...at any rate, the thing that has always seemed so fascinating to me and this plays across a rather grandiose framework is that they will attack video games but very, very rarely go after music or games. It is simply mind-boggling to think that gaming is such a scapegoat. The one thing I might could give them is that as systems like the Wii come into fruition, the immersiveness might make it difficult to distinguish reality from fiction but even that is applicable to other forms of media, just look at Gangsta rap or Natural Born Killers.
