Elevated systolic blood pressure? WTF? Maybe that group was having a better time with their game, got more into it, and thus had higher BP... I know i get real into games like Counter Strike and at crucial times have increased heart rate and persperation. Study shows, GTA more fun.

Indeed.

Actually, the other 99 men in the study were actually deeply religious Mormons, but my drug use and abuse just about made up for it... ;)

I want to hear how they got these conclusions. And I'd like to hear a quantification of these conclusions too.

Because I guarantee, your kid will get far far more "permissive attitudes toward drugs, alcohol, and sex" through college than GTA could ever hope or dream to give.

Yeah, parents should think about that when they send off their kid's application. He's gonna have sex, drugs, and maybe some rock 'n roll. Lets face it parents, you're sending him to the DEVIL in a handbasket.

In other news tonight, the US citizens take a back seat to Bush's warmongering tactics to focus on more pressing issues, like what little johnny is watching on tv.

The nation is pissed off and all these people can do is talk about how videogames are behind it? Are you fucking serious?

Whatever drugs they were using to come up with this study I want some so I can be blissfully ignorant to what is shown on Cable TV and the Silver Screen.
