Tired.

I’m back from filming.
I have entries for the SkullCast, but I’m too tired to put them together in a podcast. So, you’ll have to wait for tomorrow for those.

I suppose it went well.
I’ll update more tomorrow.

Stupid Media

OK. So, on Wednesday, some freakshow idiot, walked into a Montreal School and started shooting people. Fortunately there were some police on campus already, and they acted quickly. The gunman was shot.

Now, the media hand wringing begins. It appears that the gunman considered himself a “goth”, and played “violent video games” and posted on “scary web sites”. The media, from the Toronto Star, to the Sun, to the CTV News. Have been giving examinations (which are really little more than a gloss) of gaming culture, and the goth scene. You know how it goes “how did ___ turn this man into a killer?”.

Sad truth for the news papers and tv news journalists. The Goth scene didn’t turn this guy into a killer. I know lots of people who are members of the goth scene. Not a single one is a murderer, hell most of them aren’t even close to violent. I also know lots of people who play video games. Again, each and every one of them knows the difference between the Game World and the Real World and would never think of actually picking up a gun.

News Flash: it wasn’t goth or video games that turned this guy into a killer. He was just crazy.
