Thought all the stupid game-hating news programs were American? Nope. The fine folks of the United Kingdom get to watch scare drivel as well.
How stupid is it? Resorting to mainstream journalism's game-are-drugs default setting, statements include: Kids' reactions change when they are "on a game" and " off a game," video games are more damaging than regular chemical addictions and video games are keeping kids out of school.
As game site UK:Resistance points out, that's all within the show's first fifty seconds! And in the next fifty seconds, its noted that "children have become slaves to gaming." Old hat sure. Hit the jump for the sensationalism in full.
