"Stupid Experiment Draws Stupid Conclusion"

[kane_magus]

"...South Korea's Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation ran a news story attempting to demonstrate that violent video games do indeed make players violent. How did it do this? Simple. It went to a net café where customers pay to use the internet and shut off all the computers. Observing the profanity-laced reaction of the establishment’s patrons, the report noted:

'They've been transformed into the violent characters they are playing.'"

That's... wow. Hahahaha. Sorry, it's not really all that funny, yet if you tilt your head just right and look at it in a certain way, it's actually kind of hilarious. Seriously, how stupid are they to think that was a valid experiment?

Given it's Korea we're talking about here, I'd suspect more than one of them were actually "working" at those computers doing the old gold-selling businesses in MMORPGs. Yeah, those in particular would be pissed.
