The L.A. Times is running an editorial/open-letter to Hillary regarding the latest videogame probe. I recommend reading it.
I'm also quite amused that a little sex was what launched all this hoopla. I guess its okay for teenagers to simulate violence (the game features beat/rob/steal/kill/etc-ing), but for teenagers to simulate sex--that's over the line. I wonder what the arguments for/against this distinction would be...
Also, Take-Two predicted that they would need to take a write-off for all the returns & lost revenue they forsee. Anyone else think that maybe the direct opposite will happen?

Following up. This article provides an argument that we should be concluding that videogames (if there is any effect) make children less violent.
