Thanks to Raiden for the news tip!
While scrolling through the Wii News Channel this morning, I stumbled upon a news article that is one of many that continuously have me baffled. Apparently, 30-year-old Michael Ray Ekes was arrested for grand theft auto this past Thursday. Ironically, when deputies went in his house, they found Ekes playing the video game Grand Theft Auto (it didn’t say which). What bothers me about this is that the press continuously tries to connect the playing of video games to committing crimes, which is definitely a false connection! Does anyone else get annoyed when critics of video games do this?
