CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2What has the fact that half of eight to eleven year old use the internet unsupervised got to do with the release of a console game Keith? I'm also unsure as to what precisely the dangers of violent video games are. This article about violence in the USA and video games seems to strongly suggest that there is no link between violent behaviour and violent video games.. .. ..
Vaz, Keith
That this House is extremely concerned that children and young people may gain access to the newly-released video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which has scenes of extreme violence; recognises that this game has been certified for those aged 18 years and over; believes that the packaging on games containing scenes of violence needs to be much clearer; notes that nearly half of all eight to 11 year olds use the internet without supervision; further notes that parents, the Government, retailers and the video games industry need to work together to increase awareness of the dangers to children and young people of playing violent games; and calls on the Government to increase the rate of prosecution of retailers who sell video games to young people who are under age.

Is Mr Vaz aware that many film producers deliberatly add a bit of gratuitous sex &/or violence to crap movies with the sole aim of ensuring an 18R XXX certification from the censor in the knowledge that no self-respecting teenager would dream of buying or watching a mere R15 AA ?
Get real Oily Keith.
"What has the fact that half of eight to eleven year old use the internet unsupervised got to do with the release of a console game Keith?"
Well, they can see excerpts on YouTube, and read about it.
Which rather scuppers his point earlier that it is the active nature of such games that provides some unique 'danger', but then when was Vaz ever worth listening to on anything?
The HoC could do with a Vazectomy.
