It only has this effect in people who are already tweeked. Seriously if a kid plays a game about killing people and then goes out and kill people he was clearly already insane. The people who should not watch things like that are people who are unable to tell the difference between reality and make-believe and those who are inbalacned. And it's not like this is an epidemic, when was the last time you heard on the news that some kid went postal from playing grand thief auto.... if that didn't trigger his killing-spree somthing else would have.

Holy crap that looks awesome, thanks for exposing this awesome game to me.

Anywho, great exposure for the author, I'm not sure when the media will learn that the best way to stop people playing a game is not putting it on national news :D. Can people not separate games and reality, i've played this for a while before it got on NG, and i haven't killed anyone, yet >:).

Fox News is the Buzz Kill of all Buzz Kills.

Also, check out her expression. It's like }8-|

A huge form of emotional persuasion also if you notice she says this with a I can't believe this voice. "And it was all made by a kid from South Africa." Listen to her voice it is like she is sicken or something. Newgrounds getting bad publicity -.-

There is no such thing as bad press dude just ask Charles Manson.

Tommy, have you gotten any lawsuits toward the game yet or are they just going to poke fun at newgrounds for awhile?

The funny part is when the game was on a different site, nobody seemed to care, but because Newgrounds is a company with money, now is when they come out and say how discusting this sort of thing is.

Anyway, congrats to raffle winner and I wish I could grab a flight to Comic-Con but I have to much shit todo around here like sleep or be lazy.

Free e-cookie to the person who knows where my charles manson sentence is from.

It's okay. Nobody likes Fox...they weren't at Pride!
lol

*Sigh* Fox news and it's misinformation. Wow, I never would think people would make that kind of art... Amazing.

sell some NG sleeveless shirts already!
I'll advertise newgrounds with my guns.

because unlike youtube and things...they think its ok to flame something without telling "hey the person who made stamped for mature"

they just go on to thinking they can do anything..

Wow, Fox should just shut up right about now.

Video games don't make kids violent. Actual violence makes kids violent. I guess adults have to blame SOMEONE for it, namely a controversial flash games and movie site. Hell, Newgrounds ain't the worst thing out there.

No wonder Tom's horny.

Good we have NBC and FOX next we need to get it on THE DAILY SHOW! (Colbert Report too)

Fuck the media.

i wonder if wade got hate mail saying to remove the shit the media criticizes about. Why do they think they could win this war?

So Fox expects a website where every user acts like an immature asshat at least once during their life to be classy, publicly acceptable, and refined? Besides, religious TV channels are creepier than that.

I find it funny that the "child" always finds out about this stuff long before the parents do.
Also, am I the only one who's reminded of the voodoo doll bit from Creepshow?

oh for the love of... VIDEO GAMES DO NOT CAUSE VIOLENCE!!!!!!!! (and yes, i have an argument against your statement)
sure you have a link to the psychological effects that violent video games have on kids... well, guess what?
- first of all, that link was from four years ago. And although i realize that the video games have gotten more violent and "worse for kids" over 4 years, just read the rest of my argument.
- secondly, violent games do not CAUSE violence. they PROMOTE it, they REWARD it, and they help implant violence in one's mind, but they don't CAUSE it.
- third, you have to consider the OTHER factors that result in violence as well. does anyone ever think about these factors? no! it's all about how bad video games are for you. read this and i'm sure you'll find that your argument about "Video games CAUSING violence" is completely invalid. it does mention that video games are PART of the problem, but not ALL of it! in fact, they're an environmental problem at best!
- fourth, to go along with what i stated above, the more violent people become due to all the reasons in the above link, the more they will teach THEIR children violence, or use it on them.
- fifth, if you try to take away all the video games that are "violent", you'd pretty much be left with "Tele Tubbies Go To the Beach" and crap like that.

now prove me wrong. come on; try me

now then, to actually respond to Tom's post (this has got to be the most i've EVER written, lol), it IS sad that the media is supposedly trying to send all these messages about violence being bad, while at the same time promoting it to the unsuspecting audience. But that's what its all about, isn't it? It's all about pleasing the masses, the general public. People want violence to be scorned and shunned by those who "know what they're doing", yet at the same time it's entertaining. The media doesn't really want violence to be taken down... because then, there would be nothing for them to show to the average citizen! The human race (or a good deal of it anyway) has lost their touch with their necessity to hunt and kill food to survive. now, there is so much domestication and processing that we no longer need to kill our own food, we just go to the store. and since we have lost our naturally violent side, we long to see violence of other beings. we are no longer as sympathetic as we would be if it wasn't such a human rat race.
btw, i'm 13. have a great day.

P.S. awesome pic!

but yeah the media is pretty dumb!

So if you are the winner, how do you go about collecting your hundred dollars? Or do you just get 100 dollars in credit at the NG store?

I love how Faux covered their tracks at the end by making sure people know there's a "definite distinction" between passive entertainment that includes torture (i.e. 24) and active entertainment like the game.
