Nah, I agree with her. But not totally.

Gaming and TV should be enjoyed in moderation. Kids do need to be stimulated by the outside (and not pedophiles) world as well. Heck, I know kids that like to make mud pies and then watch some TV...

Our hobby is surely doomed when a laureate of such a reputable competition has bashed our poor hobby.

...I agree, to an extent.

That's not to say that video-games are bad but kids really do need to learn to go out and play games using their imaginations a bit more.

Kids who rely on TV and games to keep them entertained seem to have little to no ability to free-think as everything is force fed to them.

I find it even more amusing how the answers to this thread so far are actually compelling arguments for people stating the negative impact of gaming. "Fuck you for telling me I should spend less time alone in my room looking at a screen" from 90% of repliers is hardly a good argument against how violent games affect peoples behviour.
Unfortunately, 90% of everything, ourselves included, suck. :(

She has a point, a lot of today's problems with kids can be blamed on crap parenting skills relating to time spent on the console/PC/TV, but then not being allowed to spank your kid to show them the error of their ways, is the governments fault.

Outside, and The real world for that matter isin't fun. The NPC's are moronic, there are HUNDREDS of ways you can loose your life, and there's SUN out there, i mean i don't want to loose my pale complexion.

I mean, i'm supirised that The Real World got out of beta testing.

It's all about the image. She doesn't even care about videogames being bad for people, in fact she probably plays them. Oh well.

Maybe you could petition god for a patch.

Oh my god! Bullshit bloody bullshit! I dont believe it!

Miss america can actually collect a small handful of words and create a sentence!

Honestly who cares what she says. I've heard this a million times before video games are bad for ya. God just shut up. You know what i would have loved to go outside and play with sticks but i was never allowed to. My mom always thought i was just trying to get out of the house so could end up like my brother a homeless heroine addict. I was 9 at the time >.<

She should talk about world peace, a topic that is less obviously only talked about because of image purposes.

yep, we should really trust the winner of a competition where Mrs. Tennessee was in it at one point. and she was talking about how parents should be better by making their kids play with sticks in the middle of traffic? she was probably pregnant at 16 herself!

That's right kids, play with sticks and you'll become a shallow, ignorant and faceless fucktard who idolizes looking good over all else. I bet she wants to end world hunger too, even though her own country forces third world farmers to take up space and grow cash crops that their country will never get to eat. She should just go back to reading OK Magazine and worrying about her makeup.
HEEEY!!! Heeyy.... Heeyyy....

...

Ok you have a good point :p

I'm from America also, and I hadn't the slightest clue that the miss america thing was currently taking place... Then again, I NEVER know when these things are taking place... Goes to show how much their statements really matter after winning that little crown of theirs... As far as I see it anyway...

Nothing to see here folks! False alarm! She'll be forgotten soon enough... With a little hope anyway :)
Wait a minute... who are we talking about?

Yeah, the Miss America pageant is no longer interesting. The contestants have become plasticized robots, by and large, and the 'omg my bff Jill' scheiße is far too ubiquitous to be good television.

I believe someone mentioned Miss America's trash-talking gays last year? Not true: she said that she thought that marriage should be exclusively between a man and a woman (I actually watched it, believe it or not- the one and only time). That's not bad-mouthing gays, that's stating her opinion, technically, which was exactly what she was asked to do. I don't agree with her, but I tip my to her for having the courage to say what she really felt, not what would give her the best score.

In general, I find it's best not to criticize something that I have not experienced nor been a part of (which is why I make it a point not to talk shit about gays or other ethnicities).

Oh.. My... God...

When I read your joke in the beginning of your reply. I thought it was a serious question concerning something I said.. I actually wrote out explanations of who I was talking about in each segment of my first initial comment until I realized the joke behind what you said... Boy do I feel like an idiot... LOL

Well yah one could say it could have been courage that drove her to make a statement that can be easily misinterpreted, but couldn't it also have been just sheer stupidity, or perhaps unawareness seeing how stupidity seems a bit harsh to describe it.

If you were quoting her directly when you said her statement was "Marriage should be exclusively between a man and a woman." That's obviously going to create a big Stink, regardless of what she was implying. She should have really put some more thought in her statement, or at least ask some one else who probably isn't a family member or a friend what they thought of it before she went up on stage.

This Miss America isn't that important anyway. I guess being Miss America is the more sophisticated way for woman to flaunt themselves and make money! But she helps people right?
If by helps people you mean does nothing.

I can't take anyone seriously when they won a award for being a piece of meat. Shut up and be pretty thats what we voted you to do( just like Obama hur hur) I would respect her opinion more if she actually proved her intellegence instead of participating in a vanity contest.

*sigh*

I can't blame her though!

She is a journalist and is expected to present information in a manner that appeals to her audience. Caring about children and hating video games is sufficiently popular, that hopping onto both band wagons at once was an advisable decision.

The only thing she will suffer is flak from every gaming site for the next day or so.
