Sure, violent games may be bad, but what about games like World of Warcraft, that consume your whole life? At least with violent games, the kids still go to school.
And no, I’m not even being entirely sarcastic here.

Hey, what was the violent video game that Hitler and Stalin used to play?

Heh, they didn’t have to play, they could do everything in real life.
I wonder, if Stalin played chess as he was from Georgia afterall. That’s a violent game.

Pic you have is not from original game. It is a mockshot of finnish member of eu-parliament, Alex Stubb. He’s the one in the yellow shirt…
There is an entire webpage devoted to these funny pic manipulations of Alex.

Nice list heh. It’s great that moronic groups such as this, have to make these lists because idiotic parents or retarded salespeople can’t seem to grasp the concept that “M” on (insert your fav. name) game means that little 13-year old Johnny standing in front of you can’t walk out of the store with the game.
