I like it when a submitter uses the exact right tag. I mean, since there is no "Douchbag" tag and all.

It was a lack of games, his WoW server was no doubt down.

Oh jeez here it comes...

Our civilization is doomed, and it's the fault of assholes like Dr. Phil.

Wasn't there an X-Files like this, where video games turned real?

It's really pissing me off that these farkhead news shiatheads MUST find something to blame it on, even before people are identified. They trivialize it into talking points to vomit their worthless opinion. Video games make me want to punch douchebags like this in the balls or the empty void where they should exist.

Dr. Phil can kiss my white hairy ass,
/for those of you that know me sorry for the mental image

Which video games? The one that has the colored bubbles that you try and stack like an upside-down tetris? Cause man, that makes me all stabby.

I bet his oxen died.

dj_bigbird

Which video games?

Well, since he was Korean, I would venture to guess it was StarCraft or WoW...

Dr. Phil can eat a bag of dicks. Then when he's done, he can eat a bag of assholes. That way he can go fark himself.

Is it wrong to wish that Jack Thompson and Dr. Phil would have been in that building yesterday?

Thompson was on his soapbox before they even figured out who the shooter was. I hope he DIAF.

 
Tigger [TotalFark] 2007-04-17 11:10:57 AM  
Five hundred years ago the evil were "possessed by the devil" now they're "influenced by video games".

Why can't you deal with the fact that some people are just really nasty.

Dr. Phil = Big Fat Retard.

And if all those Germans hadn't been playing Wolfenstein, WWI and WWII would have never happened.

WHEN DID THIS FAT FARK BECOME THE OMBUDSMAN FOR EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN WESTERN CIVILZATION???

STFDASTFU!

Arrgh.

I think it was caused by one person wanting to kill people bad enough to actually do it. do I win a cookie now?

 
helix400 2007-04-17 11:12:32 AM  
Stupid Canadians. They don't even have video games.

 
Fluid 2007-04-17 11:12:46 AM  
Dr. Phil makes me go on killing sprees. Or at least kill TVs.

Blame shiatstorm to go as follows:

Video Games > Marilyn Manson > Just about everything else > Taxday > 2nd Amendment

Oregon Trail FTW! I downloaded that last year and played it. It is shockingly short. I remember it taking SO long to get across the country, now it's like, 5 minutes. Great game.

 
carmody 2007-04-17 11:13:28 AM  
I thought video games caused obesity.

 
mtmitch 2007-04-17 11:13:29 AM  
I won't even justify that article by reading it.

That was actually pretty damn funny.

As a reward I will refrain from suggesting that your spouse was somehow involved in the posting of it.

Dr. Phil and all of his ilk are what's wrong with America. I should hijack an airliner and crash it into his studio...

 
dc-kid 2007-04-17 11:14:00 AM  
blow it out your ass Phil

 
Kyranis 2007-04-17 11:14:01 AM  
Honestly, the greatest proof that videogames alone do not make someone violent is the fact that Jack Thompson is still alive. If we were really all insane killers thanks to our gaming, do you really think we'd have let him survive this long?

 
Pollexabator 2007-04-17 11:14:10 AM  
Oprah's fat pseudo-intellectual is here to save us from ourselves. Oh joy.

"Graphic violence in the media.

"Does it glamorize violence? Sure. Does it desensitize us to violence? Of course. Does it help us tolerate violence? You bet. Does it stunt out empathy for our fellow beings? Heck yes.

"Does it CAUSE violence? ... Well, that's hard to prove.

"The trick is to ask the right question. "

Meh, even failing to ford the river doesn't send me into a murderous rage ... but it really does piss me off.

Police said Cho was studying English literature.

He never could figure out those L's and R's.

tarnin [TotalFark] 2007-04-17 11:14:42 AM  
Someone needs to go video-game-violence on Dr. Phil... on second thought, seeing as there is no connection between the two, nothing would happen. Crap! There goes my great plan of world domination via Hello Kitty MMOPRG!

 
perdu 2007-04-17 11:14:58 AM  
But the movies and TV shows depicting murders and other violent crimes have no effect at all of course.

 
Mad Scientist 2007-04-17 11:15:00 AM  
I really can't see how 'pong' caused this...

/last video game I played
//off the lawn!

 
Winterstar 2007-04-17 11:15:05 AM  
Jack Thompson said that "Super Columbine Massacre" was a "killing simulation".

Yeah...I know that SNES-quality Console RPGs with turn-based combat are simulations for real life...I mean, doesn't that happen in Iraq? Soldiers stumble upon insurgents, the screen swirls, and you get the choice to melee attack, range attack, or run? And if you hit, you'll see the number of hit points of damage you do flash above your enemies head?

Jack Thompson proved he's about as relevant as a 78RPM record with that one comment alone.

 
ez2plezy 2007-04-17 11:15:07 AM  
Ahh i've been waiting for this all day. Let the games begin people. (pun intended)

First of all, if you are of the type to displace blame of a real problem by putting it on something that has weak, if any correlation, you sir can DIAF and i blame people like you for all of our troubles.

So if the guy did it because God told him to can we ban the Bible?

 
Beekernuts 2007-04-17 11:15:07 AM  
I was pissed at a co-worker yeaterday so i used my 30+ magic to defeat his 20+ shield and sent him back to Darkland Level 2.

And you people say video games are harmless.

This child molesting hick can just shut up. Yeah, he molested underage girls he was proving services for. That is why the quack has NO LICENSE.

Interestingly enough, ombudsman is one of only two Swedish words in the English language, the other being smorgasbord.

But more importantly, you don't know what it means.

 
durbnpoisn 2007-04-17 11:15:32 AM  
Oh, boy... What a tool.

 
Phil McKraken 2007-04-17 11:15:35 AM  
Well, another commonality is that all these insane nuts breathe air and drink water. Let's blame that!

 
lnsane 2007-04-17 11:15:36 AM  
That's like saying people are killing kittens since they started playing with their Wii's.

dumbasses with TV shows cause more shootings then video games.

I'm going to drops bricks on people's heads and blame it on Tetris.

 
datafox 2007-04-17 11:15:44 AM  
The doctors of tv have gotten out of hand. Diagnosing at a distance seems to be very popular. First Frist and now Phil. Will someone revoke their ability to practice?

Anyways if he did play SC all the time how does that translate into guns? You would think he would make armies if he was a SC player and not taken it to FPS style.

Andrew Kehoe is not amused.
