I listened to Bill's rant about gamers and electronics and he did have some points. It can be addictive, and not just with gaming. We're witnessing a culture of electronic addiction where we need the latest & greatest. I don't think he is anti-gaming or whatever, just noticing a problem that has been unnoticed for some time.

Thank god we have O'Reilly to tell us about something people have been doing since television became popular. What ever would we have done without this nigh-titanic visionary?

Two things. The family said the NewsCorp contacted them and offered hush money. NewsCorp confirmed, but said the money wasn't intended to buy their silence. Bwah?

Also, BillO interrupted his vacation, called his show, and declared victory.

"It's a culture war victory, and I am the messenger!"

"The bad guys are on the run." As long as we have NewsCorp after NewsCorp, NewsCorp will never get away with destroying America!

I'm sure they gave them that money because the family is good people. It might have also come with a release protecting NewsCorp from any pain and suffering they might have caused NewsCorp...er, the family. Has NewsCorp deployed its lawyers against NewsCorp demanding damages for the money NewsCorp put into development and marketing yet?

People buying new things? That sounds like capitalism, or something like it. Must be dangerous.

No, I don't like the sound of this capitalism business at all.

Jesus fucking Christ. They bitch when gamers kill real people, and they bitch when gamers aren't killing real people. Which one do you want?

:^: to Bone Daddy.

He just sounds like a fucking cranky old man. I guess there must be a good-sized market of people who miss their grandfathers' senile rants.

Actually something like 70% of O'Reilly's audience is over 65.

I guess that explains the ads I keep seeing for his special report on those dang kids playing on his lawn.

The best part of his rant:

BillO wrote:

I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life - the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.

Awesome, huh?

Are we raising an entire generation without the social skills to sexually harrass their coworkers?

I thought we agreed to never talk about this again!

Also, ...link? That's what I call good use of creative talents.
