A bit off topic, but this is the real way that movies and video games are harmful: police officers see an urban gun battle unfold in some blockbuster flick, and they translate that to "oh; that's how a 'real' police department works". It affects everyone who makes decisions in the PD, so decisions to "make our department real" get approved all the way up.
The real warning labels on video games and movies needs to be "not approved for viewing by law enforcement".
- mhurron 13y agoNo, the clear response to your assertion would be to ban all violent video games and movies. Since they're causing all this violence, you simply remove the cause.
- mikestew 13y agoBecause when you watched the movie Swordfish, you said to yourself, "that's how a real hacker does it" instead of "what a load of crap", right?
