Ex-Nintendo Exec: Stupid People Shouldn't Have Sex

[jacodemon]

A whole board of people who never played an age-restricted game before they should've?

Impressive. Praise your perfect progenitors!

The chain of horror, immorality and crime that has been my life to date had up until now mystified me... I never considered that my stupid, irresponsible parents didn't love me.

If only the internet had existed then! They could've stood on the shoulders of the moral giants of the message boards, and I might have stood a chance of a decent life.

This is something that needs painting on buses, trains and buildings. Instead of the usual crap that's stuck everywhere.

Hats off to her for speaking the truth.

EDIT: a couple of people have mentioned Idiocracy, there's also the South Park episode in the first season that has the parent's using the TV as a baby sitter and complaining about it. Good call.

They're not arguing whether or not the parents shouldn't let kids play games not rated for them, they're arguing whether or not the parents shouldn't let kids play games not suitable for them, big difference.

Now I kinda want to have sex with her, as she's making me like Nintendo again.

Is that wrong?

"Beat me to it, but because I can't stress this enough, I shall now just pop out and blatantly say GO WATCH >>>IDIOCRASY<<< IT IS AWESOME!"

XD

"They're not arguing whether or not the parents shouldn't let kids play games not rated for them, they're arguing whether or not the parents shouldn't let kids play games not suitable for them"

I'd say the rating is there as a pointer as to that : P Her point seems rather to be that parents shouldn't let games be the sole source of ideas and role-models for children because they are rarely good ones. Irresponsible parents whom have let their children be raised by television and games just to relieve their own stress shouldn't have had children in the first place.

 

[sammyfreak]

Thats a GOTY worthy idea!

Stupid people should definitely keep having sex and making babies.

How else do you think the economy will survive?

You call this surviving? I direct you to the case of Stupid People vs. Northern Rock.

Kaplan stated, "Parents who use videogames as a babysitter shouldn't have sex to begin with."

Darn tooting, why waste those games on kids who can't appreciate them.

"Parents who use videogames as a babysitter shouldn't have sex to begin with."

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[jacodemon]

C'mon guys, don't wreck the future here.

The way you've got it all figured out, the next generation of kids'll all have some kind of education or something, and then who will buy all the games?

The videogame industry NEEDS stupid people like me to be the majority. How could it be expected to sustain its growth unless it was so? Just think, if my parents had raised me properly there's no way I'd spend half my time playing games and the other half writing about them.

 

[stompy]

Too bad no one's gonna listen... gah, the stupid parents wouldn't even have internet access.

I think the argument is that let your 10 year old play GTA all they want so long as you also raise them to be smart, well-adjusted, reasonable people that can tell right from wrong. Video games are fine unless they impede normal (or proper) child growth.

I'm speechless....

An American executive with actually a good point. Though she won't have any impact. A horde of angry American moms is an unbeatable force. Especially if you tell them it's their own fault...

Nevertheless, I love her.
