Mrs Tony Blair and Son: Directors of Video Games Team

Daily Mail goes insane

Sick, murderous filth for hinterleckshulls.
Sick, murderous filth for hinterleckshulls.
The phrase, "Oh grow up Daily Mail!" is often lobbed around the SPOnG offices. Today more so than yesterday due to the headline: 'Cherie Blair and her son join firm linked to violent computer game'.

The story actually is that in February Cherie Blair and son, Nicky, apparently became directors of the Magnitude Gaming team of pro video games players. The team plays, among other things, Counter-Strike.

The Mail says, "There have been claims that perpetrators of massacres in the US and Germany have been fans of the game."

Time for some perspective?

Hitler's favourite film: The Lives of a Bengal Lancer starring Gary Cooper. Ban this sick filth!

John Lennon assassin, Mark David Chapman's favourite book, Catcher in the Rye. Remove this vile tome from the libraries!

We could go on... but people who read The Daily Mail would probably faint at the sound of any more literature.

The world fixers always find something to try and fix.

Give it a rest. To attack games is a fruitless example of a government, doing very knee jerk politics.

Thankfully, the Daily Mail isn't actually the government yet.
