jack who?

Hey just wondering if anybody saw the news last night. To show just how much is really going on in New Zealand the third piece of news on the six o'clock bulletin was a young boy from mangere who car jacked a woman in her saab convertible taking it for a joy ride around the western motorway. When he was finally apprehended after having crashed the saab he was taken into police custody and queried as to his motives. Funnily enough the young lad said he had been in town all night playing computer games and thought he was still immersed inside this fictional world. I am guessing he was playing a little game called grand theft auto which recieved widespread outcry when it was released many years ago. Now the sequels are more realistic than ever and carries an r18 rating. In this game you can rob shoot and steal peoples cars without a care in the world.

Now I have a feeling this story is going to get chucked in the spin cycle by the New Zealand media and we are going to see alot of concerned organisations relating to violence in video games. Hopefully this will not be the case as I feel we are a smart enough society to understand that this young boy is full of it. He wanted some pure hedonism and thats that. But for all the concerned parents out their go write to the council asking for more skate parks to get these young whipper-snappers outdoors again like the good old days.
