tiros no pé e gente aos tiros II

German Retailer Takes Violent Video Games off Shelves

German retail chain Galeria Kaufhof is pulling violent video games from its shelves. Beginning in April, the company announced this week, games with 18-plus ratings will no longer be sold in its department stores. Kaufhof's decision comes in the wake of a horrific school shooting in the southern German town of Winnenden earlier this month.

On March 11, 17-year-old Tim Kretschmer shot 12 people to death at the Albertville secondary school -- including nine pupils -- before killing three more during his escape attempt. Investigators say the teenager was fond of playing "Counter Strike" and had played "Far Cry 2" on the night before his brutal rampage. Both games are considered excessively violent and cannot be sold to anyone under the age of 18.

E se em vez de retirarem os jogos das prateleiras, retirassem as armas? Para já, creio que um tripado a atirar DVDs ao pessoal faria menos danos, e depois, este tipo de jogos é um bom escape para um dia cansativo. Tiros nuns mânfios no PC deviam servir para matar o bichinho do tiro ao alvo. Pelo menos eu conduzo mais calmamente depois de jogar Burnout!

O problema pode ser resolvido com subsídios ao paintball: podem andar aos tiros sem se magoar, saem da frente da merda do PC e começam a conviver com humanos. Simples.
