Katie Couric's Notebook: Violent Video Game

[SuperLeft4deadman]

They dont actually carry a fucking knife :| its a controller dumb cunt

[ruideng111]

what a cunt

[MrRagingMammoth]

if the retailers sell to under 17's its the shop been bad. not the consumers.

[3ViLG4m3r]

watching the news is bad for your IQ. no matter what the station, you are fed propaganda. it's more often than not, people that don't watch a lot of, or any news are able to easily judge and see through the bullshit that is said on the news.

no one takes a video game seriously. people are more likely to copy what they see on the news, than they would a video game or a movie. the news is supposedly real.

[LOTO202]

I may be just a Teen, but I want to go onto my local Canadian news station (I think it's Global). And I'm going to go on there on behalf of all Gamers worldwide to tell everyone that this is not true! Videogames are not a legitimate source of violence! Here's a tip to the news people who bash on videogames: Go to Youtube, and LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE COMMENT THAT SAYS VIDEOGAMES AREN'T WHAT SOCCERMOMS AND MISINFORMED PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE! Reply with the words: "I support you." if you support me!

[hernandezslipknot]

you don't literally hold a knife or glass shard. you hold a wii mote for crying out loud. if you ever EVER came at me with a wii mote with the intention of killing me, i would die..... of laughter.

[15935715935788224466]

what a bitch.The thing is that even with videgames in europa or japan there is no violence increece, only in USA.

[KFCArbiter]

38% voilent playing video games

99% voilent after watching fox news try and fuck with the internet and videogames!

[xMoNSTAMsFiTZz]

KNIFE, AX, GLASS SHARD! THIS GAME SOUNDS LIKE THE TITS!

[johny11150]

violence is a part of everyday life?look at iraq and afghanastan and china.fucking dumb bitch.

[BURNoutxx]

no, you do not actually hold an axe or knife or glass. its called the wii remote, you STILL have a game controller.

[pyrosplodeyflames]

She's basing this on the minority of retailers that are indiscriminant in terms of who they sell their games to.

[FreestylaBoy]

I'm not violent! But I will get if those rants ban games!

[Cap285]

God Damnit! If video games make males more violent and/or seperated from reality then I want to a special on how Oprah, Ellen, Soap Operas and womens magazines make women more crazy and illogical than they already are.

Please discourage your wives/girlfriends from watching General Hospital and reading Cosmopolitan. These forms of 'entertainment' could be hazardous to the health of others too.

Fuck you dunce.

[hernandezslipknot]

@Cap285 oh my god i fucking love you. That is what i say everyday.

[Swimmisan]

Violence... IS a part of everyday life.

[BIGCAMLABELLA21]

ive played video games my whole life i got my first virtual kill at age 2 im no phycopath but it did numb my sense of hesitating if needs be to end someone but this would not go unprovoked

[SuperLeft4deadman]

how how HOW can a play become phisicly involved

[connorgow]

Violence IS a part of life!!!! So is love, hate, happiness, sadness and everything else in between. Can't these parents who get their panties up in a bunch over violent video games take some initiative and DO something about it, instead of complain to the people who make this game? It's been mentioned millions of times, it is NOT intended for younger kids. But, don't ruin it for everyone else. Their are so many more things you should be worried about than this, you fucking pricks.

[TreavorClark]

No dont band or get upset about the game, stop ur kid from playing it. dont ruin it for everyone else because u cant control what ur kid plays.

[Patricktheangel]

atleast its not like the 2 minute complaints parents did about super mario being violent

[SuperMicklovin]

dont no why these idiots are making a big deal over it u cant stop it from coming out

[Paddis92]

I love the hypocrisy in a news anchor telling the world how violent video games can make kids violent. What's worse, video game violence or "real world" violence? What's worse, killing made up people in a video game or killing women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan?

The world is a violent place, beat it.

[promghost07]

I've been playing violent games since I was, like, 5. I'm 14 now, and it has no effect on me. Just fun.

[TedSmash]

Children are influential, so yes, there should be an age limit, but in all fairness, I played MK and GTA from my early teens and I'm not a psycho.....(SHUT THE FUCK DOWN THERE ELIZABETH!)

[iamnanosec]

FUCK YOU KATIE COURIC!!!!!!!!!leave us gamers alone or we will show you TRUE

violence

[Tattas999]

Parents know what's best for their child, if they know that the child will continue to do well in school and is not a mentally fucked up psycopath then they should let their kids play.

[HateCoD]

Omfg when she said you actually use an axe or something to kill people lol it's the Wii controller you stupid bitch. Just because you move the controller it makes it real? The Wii controller ain't even accurate.

[VvEinarvV]

Me and my hardcore gamer friend were discussing about these news reporters.... at the end of the conversation... we were pissed xD

[n00bcakey]

By the violent games cause aggression logic, pre-videogame times must have been very peaceful.

[alxdnld]

Studies also show video gamers devlop better spacial awareness, better problem solving abilities, and a better definition of right and wrong. But let's not let facts muddle things. Stay on message Katie, good job, or maybe stick to helping Palin prove she is a moron... Both are good.

[awininegeno]

we play games to escape reality, not to embark in something and kill some one

[dennisvlachos]

"Try to discourage your kids from playing video games" ? FUCK NO ! Video games are the future ! Very few people get affected by video game violence. Video games ARE good. They can make you feel better, they can change yo life ! And after that, they talk about violence ! Man, violence is around us ! We see violence when we open the TV, when we listen to the radio, when we surf da net. So instead of studying 5 hours a day, grab a motherfucking Playstation and start playing right now ! BITCH !

[corncornrocks]

not all damn games are like this...

[Gurahk2]

You are such a fucking idiot!!

[kittypr1nc3ss]

okay i'm a girl and all i can hear from her mouth is "blah blah blah". if it wasn't for violent video games my big brother would still be bothering me at random times of the day.

[FortFrolicLover]

katie Couric is poop..like in south park they measure shit in Courics hehe

[pnoyguitar]

You know why kids are violent? No parental guidance. Also, law forbid spanking.

[eaPatton]

@pnoyguitar thank you jesus someone actually has an iq i mean im 15 and i play m rated games all the time its just that most kids seem to sercome to the entertainment sources themes and become self disturbed its so sad...

[promghost07]

What-the-hell? I've been playing violent video games for years,and it has taken no effect on me. Why don't reporters shut the fuck up and let us be?

[darkjedi0200]

exactly

[Evilstewie66391]

danm it you bitch get off our asses geez. (middle finger) i used to be at a gamespot selling games and this kid begged me to let him purchase grand theft auto liberty city stories and i said no i mean if the parent thinks its okay then by all means i would let him get it but his mom grabbed his ear and yelled at him. and besides if that reporter is hating on this game she should play it its a cool game controls are fun, its creepy which kicks ass and visuals are pretty nice too.

[1garageboy]

I don't hate her, she just said at the end "that's what is says on the page on my notebook". Or she could be reading from the teleprompter. Se obviously doesn't care about what video games are coming out.

Before you bash me, I play Violent Video games all the time. Fox News SUCKS!

[northshoredr]

me too, im 12.

[SaveDreamdrain]

what a smelly quiff licker.

[cjs11227]

Why did they make such a big deal out of Manhunt 2? Did they forget about the original? This should be no shock to anyone that it is as violent as it is! Katie Couric and all these other reporters are stupid ass fags

[stefman666]

ya, and wut about madworld?

[TheProphaze]

Have news readers and politicians ever played Manhunt?

[SaveDreamdrain]

haha yea they would enjoy it.

I had a girlfriend who hated me playing it, then i handed over the remote to her and now we hav manhunt mondays

[mikethegent]

I played both MANHUNT AND MANHUNT2.....I could care less about those politician crooks....

[MRBLuD]

I think Katie Couric is really a man in disguise.

[FatalixDA]

bitch.

[jimbob9678]

im 12 and im got all the gta and i dont use vilonce or enything i only swear

[soccerfreakonyou]

fuck the news reporter! fuck jack thompson..and fuck all of those pricks who think it's bad, they are little pussys who are afraid of violence! (not that im violent.)it's just you people ruin the game for others!!!

[MissJC124]

what a twat.

[mikethegent]

Katie Couric couldnt find her ass in a row of rat shit in a windstorm!!!!!

[egilland]

Violence is a part of every day life! I thought a newscaster would know that.

[GrandTheftAutochamp]

You are a fucking loser you fucking idiot.

[Dondonovan]

Woho! Wii got a new type of control!?! Why was I not informed of this? An actual axe, knife and glass chard? COOL!

[DreadRaptor85]

This 1 time I opened a textbook at school and written on the 1st page was, "In case of fire, throw in."

[MartinSawyer]

Shut the fuck off bitch¡

In your stiking country children can buy guns so a videogame is more dangerous? Que te jodan, hipócrita de mierda.

[babaev]

oh, yeah fuck thats right! I forgot about that completely. In America its part of their rights to be able to wield arms. If you ask me, THATS pretty fucked up.

[mccoyca112]

God, this bitch is worse than Jack T.

[GTAfansCR]

Nobody is worst than Jack Thompson, that guy thinks Table Tennis is violent

[LMISDOOR]

That poor woman's just doing her job as a journalist: scaring people and get money for that. I'd say "ok! You're right! So, stop showing us violent movies (kill Hollywood and majors), and violent informations in the news(you're fired)!" Your hypocrisy is so violent too: STOP IT!

[PluhDude]

violent games do not cause violence the people who are violent were already insane to begin with and also this game rules

[mohpa6]

bulshit stupid woman

[crypt375]

BULLSHIT! Gamer's arnt killers. Unstable gamers are

[zidane120994]

oh c'mon! fuck those stupid ratings! there's nothing wrong about this! there's nothing wrong with the game! if they want no children playing this, then they should put those irresponsible parents to jail! everyone knows not all parents are responsible!

[narutothebest1119]

wait a minute! did she say that instead of pushing buttons you actually hold the knife! WRONG you still push buttons don't you? even the wii version does not do that she is a retard

[Justin4547]

you're a stupid ignorant bitch, katie couric.

[DieGo2SHAE]

OMG! there are knives, glass shards, and axes included with the game ?!?!! Where's mine ?

[vorpalfucker666]

lol

[sparced]

instead of pushing buttons the boxes includes real life weapons.

[gklimo]

yea, and research also shows that YOU SUCK KATIE COURIC!!!

[gta3294]

fuck you katie

[snake2006]

Yes, since I have played games like this, I must be a serial killer then.

Oh, wait, no, I haven't killed anyone or even have the urge to kill. Most people are like this, because PEOPLE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY.

[cpjeterfan]

yesd becuz i playd video game every day i am reatarded

Seriously, since i play videogames every day

i always feel the urge to go and stab someone

after playing

so come the media needs to realize that MOST

PEOPLE ARE SANE and can diffirentiate between

what they see on a screen and what the see in

real life.
