The Top Ten Media Attacks of 2007 on Video Gaming

[Whattheheck136]

here's a hint

DONT BUY THE KID THE 18+ GAME

[xXForgttenSoulXx]

Jack Thompson is such moron

[cumfiction]

TV channels are just jealous because gaming is so popular and decrease their viewers.

[chunkygrimm]

LOL jack got on 3 times

[minablock]

lol they paid the kid to say that *cua u getta kill people*

[igokeyou]

botox bitch at 1:52

[DiligentDevil]

i love how you mention tat because wat ive seen is tat a lot of kids who are addicted with games mostly likely have parents tat never pay attention to them or barely show any type of affection. and yes she is a "botox bitch"

[rockoownz]

"Cause you get ta kill people" they paid that kid to say that.. ROFL

[Zerosk8er32]

he trained them on halo to get them mentally prepaired what a fucking fag

[frontlined97]

@Zerosk8er32 yea at least create ur on classified stimulation shessh

[WinkingNinja]

Jack! i know this is old news but Virginia Tech Guy never played games at all!

[PhatSteve7]

The end was GOLD! great vid i didn't know how much the media hated gamers

[Borntoplaygames256]

OMFG these fucking douche diarya bags of asses must stop worrying about video games. (sorry for cussing)

[fireking9934]

wtf is maple story..........

[LD537]

AHAHAHAHAHA!! that last part! he is hilarious!!

[hugwhoreprincess]

I LOVE THE LAST PART!!!ROFLOLMAO

[extenZe686]

Maplestory, are u fucking shitting me?

[mario6515]

You know what i'm going to tell my mom what in my games on my christmas list

[boricuaboy24]

0:40 ok he doesnt count he is black it's his genes

[lxlGREENYlxl]

"Because you get to kill people". I actually laughed at that, it sounds so dumb lol. Who paid him to say that?

[LD537]

jack thompson of course! LOL

[Scrillls]

should somebody stop that school shooting expert?

[jcmaleo]

Hmmm....They're saying that killing people in video games are bad.What would you prefer them to kill? real people?

[numafan101]

Halo can train snipers? Yea shooting aliens and off Beam Rifles using a game pad is*sarcasm* really realistic.

[SubOutLoud]

"And accept violence as a part of everyday life" IT IS A PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE YOU FUCKING CUNT.

[micprn]

number 8 makes me have a fail attack a gamers heart attack

idiot soccer moms talking in number 8

also discouraging games they way they did makes me cry

[asse080]

I'm sad right now. the only shop im my town that sells mature games to minors no longer sells mature to minors. buhuu

[ItchweedHardy619]

i swear that M for MAture games are not allowed to be sold to minors anyways, ESRB!

[strikeeagle32]

Wow, 2:30. Jack Thompson and "Expert" should never be in the same sentence.

[creditcardman12]

I don't get why these idiot politicians and parents spend their time on this. How is the distribution of sexual material harmful to minors? That Jack Thompson really gets annoying. It's not the games that are the problem, it is the parents who buy the games.

[ninjakajun]

i think those kids were paid to say that

[samiam1995]

Video games arent the only things exposing kids to violent images *caugh* *caugh* news media.

[ninjakajun]

wow on the everquest part mmos are socializing i mean your talkin bout thousands on your server hell i got tons of internet pals and its been a while since i saw that part so i think back then she said he left a note about how he wanted to join a guild or sumthin? same story about a china suicide and how jack thompson describe counter strike was epic fail "its about killing as many people as you can within the time limit"

[ninjakajun]

omfg theyre blaming games on epileptic siezures well they cause em but not only games cause them mostly everything can cause epileptic siezures

[TiCkToCkMaRiO1473]

LMAO. ''why do you like this game''. ''cause you get to kill people'' hahaha

[RevolverOcelot2008]

lol I love the ending.

[EaimoE]

HAHAHA Maplestory?! WTF?!!

[xXForgttenSoulXx]

lol "So tell me, why do you like this game?" "Because you get to kill people."

[Bronzeaxe]

i'm going to play allot of Dirt 2 now, maby i can drive awesome over 2 years

[MrHawSome]

just played counterstrike

FUCK I WANT TO FIND A GUN AND SHOOT SOMEBODY JUST BECAUSE I SAW IT HAPPEN

[c0wnbread]

DON'T DO IT!!!

[bjarte3]

great ending

[AtomicGT55]

- sight - a lot of fucking idiots play video games, and they are the ones that are talked too during these "anti Video game interviews". They give normal gamers a bad reputation, and it really pisses me off

[LSmith804]

All tho the stores are suppose to check id, it's the parents job to look over and for-see what goes on in THEIR home. I don't know many 16 year olds who pay bills.

[ionveau]

Btw 100% agree with mmo rpgs i seen 30 year olds cry over vent for items in mmo rpgs

[Bronzeaxe]

sooooo true...

[LSmith804]

Bottom line Parents need to do there job and PARENT!!!!!!!!!

[ionveau]

good god STFU with "parents do your jobs"

Seeing as most 16 year olds in my area have part time jobs and buy the shit they want

Soo anyway its more like MALLS AND STORS LOOK AT ID OR WE SUE U thats much better then putting the blame on the parents who most likely will never see this video or any videos like this

[asse080]

yay jon steward fucking love him!!!

[strikeeagle32]

I usually disagree with Jon Stewart, but he's really gained my respect this time!

[BROOKLYNRAGE80]

jack thompson is a fucking moron

[micprn]

if gamer ruled the world jack tomson would be burnt and then sent to ET the video game and buried in newmexico

[Bigups846]

i think 9 was racist "its obvious why they like this" .. "cuz you get to kill people"

[gamehazard101]

rofl, why do you like this game? "Because you get to kill people." i can't get over that.

[killerzboy010]

I think it was staged, I mean honestly it's pure bullshit, he must have known why they were asking him. Thank fuck i don't live in like Germany or Aussieland

[mlgamer52]

Interesting, numbers 5-2 were Jack Thompson, the only officially certified sane lawyer in the entire state of Florida who has a chip on his shoulder for video games.

[FP1441]

COUNTER-STRIKE! OO AAH AAH!

But seriously, this whole video shows the news has nothing better to do, and like someone else commented on. The video games are the news' scapegoat. It's the perfect target of discussion and an effective target to blame for everything wrong in this world. Do you know why people play video games? To have fun. To compete with others that are better so you can prove yourself worthy of your accomplishments. And to the kids, look at the parents to blame.

[killerzboy010]

fucking nigger making us all look bad

[Tochy1]

and yet ur youtube name is killerzboy010

roflcoper

[exranio]

there is one thing i'll agree with and thats that shooters tend to help your aim but thats all

[SuperMariotheKing100]

Video game addiction leads to suicide? I've been addicted to video games since I was like 4 I'm now 17 and I'm still alive, that's bull shit just like the stuff that comes from Jackass Thompson's mouth

[TheBlarg89]

lol maplestory

[YoJoeDizzle]

HAHA MAPLESTORY!

[ComicJustin]

jack thompson claiming that the US army used halo 3 as training for there snipers took the cake.

[YesIm10]

#10 was most sensible (Because they were talking about games triggering epilepsys) and they for once sounded like they knew what they're talking about, but number 2 was most enraging. He blamed games for the virgina tech shooting? Did he have any fucking evidence? and he has the nerve to say that its "not JUST a theory"!? I just got a feeling I've never felt before: I feel bad for everyone at the shooting that day that such a RETARD gets to make stupid assumptions about a tragedy. Go to HELL.

[YesIm10]

"Hit the mute button"

...On the children or the tv?

[ABGC76]

fuck yea john stewart! lol mute them???

[Darthshepius]

Mute? Really? Man, are we so sensitive that we cant hear people curse?

[EnigmaXx730]

I agree with number 1. So many assholes online talk big shit because they can hide behind a mic but if you ever see them in real life they wouldnt say half the shit they say on the internet. Video games don't influence that, they just think that there are cool if they can say whatever they want and get away with. I mean look at how many youtube comments are racist.

[GinjiEXE]

News People: Video Games may be hazardous to children.

Me: WELL WHO TF CARES< YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY?!?! I SAY SCREW YOU!!!

I BEAT 12 M RATED GAMES WHEN I WAS 8!!! CHILDREN SHOULD PLAY WHATEVER THEY WANT SCREW ITS OUR LIVES

.......awesome vid :D

[RabbitSpades]

hahahahahahahha! "if nothing else works, hit the mute button!" hahahah has it actually come to that?!

[geekman18]

.. wah ... WAH ....last time i checked maple story was free FREE that means theres no money cost to playing it

[Steadylemon]

HOW? HOW? How in the world to you train yourself to SHOOT a weapon in a VIDEOGAME??? There is a HUGE difference between the two. Jeezus

[Pelvinauzer]

I think most of them are saying that it will mentally "numb" you about the whole killing thing and make you more likely to conduct murder. Kind of like if you've killed before. Not that you will be a better shot. It's still a load of crap though. Ignorant pricks.

[dagger3456]

ok fyi dumbshit cnn

violence IS a part of everyday life

all i see on the news now is about the WAR in iraq, school FIGHTS, and child ABUSE... the government isn't going to hide anything, we are a violence driven species, it gives us a sense of power, that we are god... it's just us, violence IS a part of everyday life

[iHaTeNoooBz]

lol i was about to comment the same thing i was like wtf is this bitch stupid

[CoBfanittaja]

If some dude made a suicide because of a video game, it is not a big deal. If he was not playing games, he would be socialising with people and doing drugs. People do suicides more because of relationships. or die to drugs.

[mink85]

got to love the end... so true :-)

[Ocelot201]

The end clip is so true...

They aren't exclusivly selling adult content in video games to children, you idiots have to look at the ratings. Wouldn't tha be a wonderful idea?!

[jpballa18]

fuck jack thompson, seriously i think he just completely fails at video games thats why he constantly bitches about it.

[OnlineEnabled]

"Cause you get to kill people"  I bet they paid him tons of money to say that.

[Kylesesh]

I bet they were like hay kid want some candy... you want it you gotta say "cause you get to kill people" while your playing this game okay.

[drunkenmunkistyle]

nah...just good editing....

[ran22147]

number one is true its not media bullshit

[AFunkyMilkman]

True, but the way they spun their story makes it another clueless review/trick of Fox.

Halo comes with a quicker mute function so you don't have to pop up the-dashboard, plus you can set friends only text and chat so you only get messages from Microsoft for updates, and people on your friends list.

Overall, if someone takes what someone says over the internet to heart, they're either oversensitive, or a moron. It's the internet, and after all, the interwebz are seriouz bizness, isn't it?

[spliff1916]

is that u takin at the end funny as fuk like

[kid13]

Hahaha these people are silly.

[snakepit000]

I like how half of these were of Jack Thompson

Jack=fail

[maniac923]

"why do you like this game" "cause you get to kill people"how scripted was that shit no kid in there right mind would say that unless something is wrong with them

[illusionfreak]

Daily Show clip at the end is pure WIN!

[JunglemanchiId]

"literally draw the player into another world" - what a retard lol

[0Dark0Poet0]

just the halo voice comments had me rofling "hope you die in a terrorist attack pussy" XD

[gta747]

he probly killed himself cuz his life sucked so much that all he had was everquest.. & also jon stewart r awsum

[bcbole92]

The guy at Virginia Tech played sonic.

[hardkoregamer999]

1:59 kid killed himself just becuase his mom took away everquest from him wut a

an hero

[LWDIII]

If we're going to dip into every violent crime and murder's history and blame them on a single violent game they've played, then every single murder/violent crime in the world is going to be blamed on a game within the next few years.

These games are a part of almost every person's life age 25 and down now. It's not realistic to say it's the game's fault when so many people play these games and don't commit crimes.

[1catpoop1]

haha yea lol the army plays halo ALLLLL day lol

[SolidusSnake117]

Aliens do exist! 1:53

[MastrBlastrStudios]

everquest suks... wow is pretty good but i prefer games with a satisfactory end

[SearchFindNowMine]

The black kids voice was edited. I hate the media, they feed on this shit. Bunch of profiteers trying to fan the flames of both sides of an arguement.

[explasivthepro]

Man they Sucks,They dont know NOTHING!

[RaithTenjo]

1: the black kid's voice was edited.

2: Maple Story is FREE

3: Everquest CANNOT be compared to WoW. WoW sucks too badly.

4: Sniping in Halo is SOOO much easier than sniping in real li- I mean, uhh... Hey look a kitty!!

[smashbro49]

lol at the colbert report ending

[kageorochimaru]

The first issue is real, viedo game can cause seizure because of flashing lights but it's the same thing as watching television or in the movies. Even camera falshes can cause seizure.

[FrontalTraction]

1:45 "It can literally draw you into another world" So a portal opens to an alternate dimenson? Oh, you mean FIGURATIVELY, the OPPOSITE of literally. How stupid.

[IcyShockX]

Lmao, violence is part of everyday life. Shows you how f***ed up our society is. Gaming is just a scapegoat for these a-holes

[watariryusaki]

How the hell does playing videogames teach you how to use a gun?(Look at number 5) You move two joysticks around for damns sake...

[TheGMaster619]

lol Number 9 is hilarious

[ninetailedjoe]

ffs, online play wouldnt be the same without trash talk.

[8VXU6]

ppl only talk trash online cuz they aint going to say it in ur face

[xMyPeanutx]

Trash talking is pretty bad on Xbox Live, though

[Vileblood311]

10. Dont play video games if you have epilepsy

9. Some kids are fucked up, if they are fucked up, they are fucked up.

[Vileblood311]

8. No they don't, take a look at EVERY OTHER FUCKING FACTOR in their life.

7. You worried about being addicted to video games when people are addicted to drugs and alcohol? I used to be addicted to WoW, I've quit many times, I stop when I want to and start playing when i feel like it.

6. See number 9

5. See number 6

4. M games are banned for sales to Minors, if an adult buys a game for their child/friend/relative(you get the point), it's their choice.

[Vileblood311]

3. Yes, since you can train someone to use a rifle that is exactly like the sniper in halo, which has no Coriolis effect, no recoil, and 100% accuracy rate. Not to mention that the main character is a superhuman.

2. Really? I'm not even going to bother, see number 5.

1. since trash talking doesnt exist anywhere else on this planet, sure, alright.

[metalslug94]

if this is real, i have to kill myselfeee!!

[Madsacre92]

I'd say that the "sex scandal" in mass effect outlined the trash talking....

[Escmiester]

I wonder if Thompson wants Gamers & Game makers to be put in consentraition camps .

[watariryusaki]

No he wants concentration camps and prisons banned because criminals are violent in there...

[RenascentKarma]

LMAO John steward!!!! omg owage xD

[GreentheGunstar]

GAHAHAHAAHAHA OH GOD You got Jon Stewart in this? Bravo, dude. Bravo. 5/5.

[jessegrohs]

are u fucking serious that is complete bull shit those kids who did the shootings were most likely trying to get revenge on some kid that bullied the shit out of him/her then said fuck it my "parents" have a gun and im pissed i might as well take the gun and kill those fucking ass wipes that are picking on me. ever think about that you stupid mother fuckers? god i hate old people that say "oh this game is bad some little pissed of boy killed a bunch of people cause of countersrike not bullies"..

[XBOX2455]

that is bull shit

[sk8erfreak9242]

"cuzz you get to kill people"

I LMAOD AT THAT!

[arksolo2]

Natural gangsta right there. :D

[superbad222]

a key word thet thompson used PROBABLY

[movieman1211]

I'm surprised the Fox News Mass Effect one wasn't on there.

[GuruZap]

I didn't think Mass Effect was very violent at all.

[movieman1211]

No Fox News attacking it. This isn't talking about the most violent games.

[GuruZap]

I know I'm just saying that it wasn't worth the trouble. I don't know if they did go after it or not but I thought that (aside from some occasional unnerving dialogue) wasn't that violent.

[movieman1211]

They went after it for the "sexual" scene.

[LordTowel]

the last part was rofl

[trojans681]

LOL

[212DwnUp]

How hte fuck did Jackass Thompson acpuire the title of "School Shooting Expert"? Explain THAT one to me.

[CENTRINOaki]

and why he was called a "video game expert"

[212DwnUp]

Answers we'll never know...

[jagus12]

Why are most of the attacks to videogames against Halo? XD

[shtpickle]

I wonder if this fucktard has heard of operation 7 or if he just targets popular games....what a piece of biased shit

[KratosxD]

dont blame the games, blame the parents and their parenting.

[myco578]

omg that daily show clip was so epic

[HellToaster]

I hate how the voice of the gamers isnt herd as well as these cocksucks

[comedyliker12]

¨haha! seriusly!! american politics are idiots!!!

[Toapoint]

Parents should learn to chontrol their children if they're hooked. " OMG THEY'RE PLAYING GAMES ALL DAY EVERYDAY" then fuckin take them away. It's not that hard * Disconects internet connection*

[Crapcarp555]

oh wait, i mean #8

[Crapcarp555]

That woman on #7 should be punched in the face!! "Quote on quote entertainment..." really got my blood pumping.

[whirlp0ol]

priceless ending

[slushy50254]

...and i thought maplestory was free, idiots...

#5. not only did he play video games, he ate food and breathed air. so by jack thompson logic, WE MUST BAN FOOD AND RESPIRATION

[mastershake400]

I like the ending

[TheKingofnoob]

10# is kinda true. But still, if you have it, it's recommeded that you do not play video games.

But seriously. You are afraid of kids playing video games? I mean, i'm not saying that it is acceptable. How about you try this magic trick...

DONT LET THEM PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

[Toapoint]

i so agree boss. If parents have that much of a hard time with kids playing games then unplug. it's not that hard o_O

[HarmlessBunny]

Wow...Jack is lying big time on this. Military using Halo to train snipers? Of course...violence never existed before video games. You see, Romans and Mongolians to help train their armies put all their legions in front of the game Counter Strike. Back then it was the swords and arrows edition :P

[pooclak]

lol.. the black guy on #9 is funny as shit

[aliG2500]

"cuz you get to kill people..."

[KratosxD]

that 90% true xD

[ignas1130]

wtf is with 5. How the hell do games "train you how to use weapons and use them to kill people.

Oh wait, you attach a ps3/xbox360 controller to the gun and then press the button XD

[TyrixVendara]

LMAO

[aliG2500]

XD XD XD XD

[SlickSwiftProduction]

9 is hilarious,

"Why do you like this?"

"Cause you get to kill people!"

I dont think this is representative of the population.

[aliG2500]

i think that most of the attack were BS, but i do have to agree with number 6. i played WoW myself for a short while and i can see why its so much fun, but i do think that its very unhealthy and bad to get super into that game. people who play games like that really need to learn how to take it in small doses or just not play at all if they are likely to get completely sucked in like the poor guy who played Everquest did.

[ramidai]

Yeah I fully agree with you, and I'm sure millions of others who play online MMO's agree.

That shit sucks you in.

[TyrixVendara]

hell yea, i couldnt get enough of em O_O but if you feel addicted surely you can pull yourself away... i know i did

[aliG2500]

ya, i mean they clearly are great games, but i really think they're almost too great. i kinda think that it's good if a game developer tries to limit their replay value/overall playing value a bit and not get too carried away with awesomeness so that it's consumers can still have an actual life outside of their game.

[Nolanor]

truth. I'm a Guild Wars player and have to put a conscious effort into making sure I don't play too much of it, cuz I know what sort of negative effects it could have on my health if i start playing obsessively.

Extremely difficult with these sort of games.

[toloverufan2]

same here

[Missbarbossa]

i hate jack. does enyone know if he has any kids. i mean they have to be so lonely its unbelliveble

[LordFeckington666]

I know he has a son.

I would kill myself if I was his son,

[Missbarbossa]

lol m2

[viacomsux45]

they show maplestory hwo sad

[DroxSorcerer]

Video games contributing to a suicide? Can you seriously name a video game that rewards you for dying?

[sheao50]

Hahaha ron stewart the man

[Jayday12345678910]

0:41 XD

[AlfredRKahn4kids]

For those of you who hate Jack Thompson for making video game lok bad, feel free to tell him what a douchebag he is.

Jack Thompson's phone number!

cell: 305-588-3005

home: 305-666-4366

[SiLEnthILLFaN321]

so number 5 they sayed nothing about the music he listens too just wat he played!

[pbfanster]

I don't understand how these games are effective in preparing people psychologically for killing someone, because I've played several games such as halo and GTA, yet I don't see myself operating a gun at any point in my future, let alone killing someone. If someone were to die in front of me, I wouldn't be calm and collected because I played GTA or Halo. I'd probably freak just as much as anyone else would. I know what is reality, and what's just a game.

[Sign213]

what´s going on in the world and try to fucking understand the games before you crictsize them. He looks like a fucking porgramed robot saying always the same thing : " videogames are bad they will cause the apocalypse" fuck him...

[Sign213]

Im not saying waht he did is rigut.. But those were he´s causes , we wanted to go down like eric and dylan , he wanted to be fampus beyond the grave i guess and his violent nature came up... So jack can+t blame videogames on a thing like this , in columbine he could at least poin the finger but guessing he was a gamer without anything , fuck him , he is an ignorant dumbshit , i just have noe thing to say to him . Go fucking study

[Sign213]

The fact is the virginia tech shooter didi that not because he was a gamer , he wans´t really into games , he was just a lonely kid , he dind´t have frineds , he had concluded a course with bad grades , and a bad course , he had no future , no plans , nothing... He was becoming lonely and an outcast and when that happens you get violent , angry with society , he wanted to go down but to relase he´s anger .. so he did that

[Sign213]

I hate jack thompson.

But I don´t hate him because he attacks video games , i hate him because he blames everything on videogames and he´s a jackass because he doesn´t know the video games he´s criticizing , he doesn´t know how they are , he doesn´t knwo the developers he doesn´t know jack shit . He said the viriginia tech shooter was a video gamer withouth proofs he just wanted to blame everything on videogames.

[antvick]

I suppose Jack Thompson thinks that strategy gamers will conspire to take over the world.

--- Trash talking is used everywhere! any competition, sport, EVERYWHERE!

[mcinerney101]

lol on halo 3 online they say way worse shit then number 1

[dragerien2]

human nature= sex, violence, and money

[stevensnk]

Woooo! Go Jon Stewart!
