Games Reduce Violence...to Animals
Posted by Steven Wu on Thursday, February 06 @ 10:48:28 EST Oddities
Here's a lighthearted extension of the rather more intense discussion that Lawmeme had a while back on violence in video games: according to this story up at Fox News, video games are directly to blame for reducing the numbers of young men and women who hunt.

The best part of the entire piece is this quotation from a hunter:

"Part of the reason fewer people are raised with hunting and fishing is they had different ideas of what was fun to do out in nature. . . . For example, my mother wanted to go out and walk. The idea of going out and wanting to shoot birds instead of look[ing] at birds skipped her."
