But there has been an increase in people taking up archery.
You seem to be missing the point though. People who commit mass killings are trying to kill as many people as possible before they are caught. Bows are ill-suited for this purpose.
- cheald 14y agoAnecdotally, there has been an increase in people taking up archery. I know several friends who have gotten into it primarily because of The Hunger Games' glorification of it. Google seems to suggest an increase in interest, as well: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=archery http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=archery
- jclos 14y agoI remember reading (although I can't seem to find the reference) that there was an increase in med schools registrations when the tv show House began. If there is such an influence is there a way to use it for good purposes, like funding games and tv shows that could raise interest in issues, while still being actual games and tv shows that are worth playing and watching?
