Sun madness shocker: “Games ‘are giving kids dementia’”

It’s The Sun.

How is it worth an article?

The Sun. Sensationalist Bullshit. We Love It.

Just look at his dementia ridden face. Games are just sick filth.

I BLAME THE PARENTS!

I can’t wait for the day when the GAMING-IS-EVIL stories become pointless to print because no one cares and the world accepts it as an entertainment just like movies and TV. (Only better )

News just in The Sun makes your brain vomit and your eyes bleed.

What…. where am i….. whats going on…..

Quote:”
SUSAN GREENFIELD: By screen culture, I mean literally that; a world of two dimensions where for six hours a day or more, people in the western developed world, more particularly kids, are spending time either playing games or on social networking sites and thereby putting themselves in an environment that is very much in the here and now, that has very strong audio and visual sensations, where at the press of a button you get instant feedback from whatever you’re doing.

But at the same time, you’re perhaps removed from some of the aspects that we take for granted. Those of us who are older or those of us who are born in the 20th century, that we taken for granted. Things like metaphor, abstract concepts, logical narrative, conceptual frame works, long attention spans, imagination. The kind of areas we can explore in more detail, if you like.

But it’s primarily a world of a small child, a world of the here and now, a world of a sound byte, a world of an instant frozen moment where nothing has consequences, and where everything is literal. Where nothing has a meaning, you’re not saying one thing in terms of something else, you’re saying literally, what you see is what you get.”

and the sun gives adults serious paranoid schizophrenia.

…”here was a “need” for children to be “outside, to climb trees and feel the grass under your feet and the SUN ON YOUR FACE.”

Sun: IN your face, punk! you mean?

but i agree we need more trees AND more viedogames.

actually.. he just might be right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GjR0aXsUyY )

I just forgot what i wanted to type, damn you Battlefield…

How many phones did they tap to get this information!?

More likely down to their poor diets in food and nutrition.

Sounds like the baroness needs a good shagging.

You don’t want to go outside and get the sun on your face, the ink’ll rub off and you’ll look like a badly printed mess.

The Circle of Life:
1) Newspaper creates article trolling gaming industry.
2) Gaming industry points a million ray guns of linkage to newspaper website.
3) Newspaper notes increased traffic activity and massively expanded backlink profile to original news story.
4) Newspaper continues to periodically publish articles trolling massive traffic and backlink profile source.
etc.

Of course, since articles covering these articles are themselves a massive source of hits for video game news sites (hell, I clicked this, even if it was to complain about the complaining), suggesting that it’d be nice if we all stopped would be rather futile.

Quite frankly, looking at certain members of this website I think they have a point.

Sun readers are R-tards anyway. Their children after them will be R-Tards. And them after theirs. Games are the least of our worries
