That second last panel ... it only reminds me of a certain TV show.
...
...
Bitches.

and the cover of that game says "Video Game 2: More Violence".
The strip was funny, you just have to ask "Why the hell does that baby have a violent video game".
Obviously its because of the parent's fault, they are the ones that buy these games for these kids who scream into the damn speaker in Halo 3.

... so yes.
We should blame the parents. (Who look hot and over-glorified)

... now the ultimate question is "Did I read too far into this?"

At first glance, it looked to me like the guy was GIVING the game to the baby.
I was like "Wha...?"

Only in America can a Disk be considered more dangerous then a loaded gun..
Not like any of the countries in Europe or the UK, or Australia try to censor video games because of their violent depiction.. oh.. wait..

I mean, you guys have gun control over there right? So why do you still censor violent video games?

It's easy to laugh at America for it's stupidity, but your countries are trying to do what America does, while ALSO having gun control laws.

Okay, Point taken, That was an unfair generalization and I'm sorry.

Just the way GTA was instantly blamed for this shooting? Really burned me up inside, especially since I watched coverage on Gun Control after Sandy Hook.

So you're telling me he doesn't face all those dangers to give a video game to a bored baby? I'm so confused right now...

No. We all know it's the fault of the evil video game companies, who force these games into the cradles of impressionable youth, while the good parents are unable to do anything.

That's why we need a hero.

Hey? Generally tougher gun control laws than laws on video games would mean games were considered less dangerous than guns.

It's not just discs. It's everything.

There was an anti-drug ad several years back where two kids get stoned and one decides to show the other his parents' loaded gun, kept in a shoebox or something. The end of the commercial does a blackout and a "bang," implying that the one kid shot the other, and it's because drugs are bad. You know, not because some shitty parents left a loaded gun in a shoebox somewhere.

I mean, the message appears to be "don't let your kids try pot or they'll kill someone with the gun you just leave lying around."

Europe OR the UK, eh? When did the UK move?

Wait, I didn't know they were trying to ban video games because they were a convenient scapegoat ti distract from the gun control issue. That DOES seem kind of counter-intuitive, since guns aren't a religious institution in Europe or the UK.

Maybe we should laugh at them for...No, it's still a bad and disingenuous analogy.

Mr Burns? He tried to take her candy. She was clearly standing her ground.

Now Homer, on the other hand....She'll try and murder him even while he's trying to help her.

I don't get it. So the dude is giving the baby a video game magazine or something along the lines? And what's the danger? I'm so confused.

Videogame 2? How lame. It is all about Videogame 4: Violence, Sex and Violent Sex. Don't get me started on VG3. Easily the worst in the series. Hopefully VG5 is good. I hear they're adding a school shooting mission and a drug making mini-game.
