CVG editor Tim Ingham [URL=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=239791]recently appeared on British TV[/URL] as part of a ridiculous round table discussion on violent games.
Ingham himself performed remarkably well, especially when factoring in the idiocy surrounding him, whether it was the piece’s pre-determined slant, a vast generation gap, or a host who couldn’t take the time to research, or comprehend, that videogames have their own ratings, nevermind parental controls.
Consider that the show’s host, Alan Titchmarsh ([URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Titchmarsh]a gardener[/URL]?), actually made the following remarks in the opening minute of the discussion:
[I]Ingham comments that games are no different than movies[/I]
[B]Titchmarsh:[/B] "But they (movies) have certificates on them…"
[B]Ingham:[/B] "The videogames have exactly the same certificates…"
[B]Titchmarsh:[/B] "But they are at home…"
[B]Ingham:[/B] "I’m sorry?"
