All that needs to be said..../facepalm.
....also, hugwooba. I have to agree with Susan, that will be my new favourite word.

I don't think I can say anything that has not already been stated here, one of the most triumphant examples of the most some people could ever say (and all that a person like this woman desevred, for that matter) is ucciolord1's 'facepalm' Cpt. Piccard image, as well as anyone else who facepalmed. Including me.
*facepalm to the nth power* -_-;
Also, the kid could never possibly be irritable because, say, his lack of contact with games has rendered his ability to control his reaction to them very under-developed. Actually, no, scratch that; he's more likely to be irritable because he needs to return home where things that he perceives as fun are 'the Devil's work' as proclaimed by a stuffy, overly-controlling and ignorant mother.
Admittedly a library isn't the place you should be playing a DS, but why was this an event that 'scarred her for life'? Yes, the kid did something they probably shouldn't have been doing, but this is akin to saying that you burned your toast once and it put you off trying to cook any kind of breakfast ever again.
When do kids ever think these days? When do they ever have brains free from electronics long enough to ponder the universe? To think of things that might someday lead them to a cure for cancer?
If Sir Isaac Newton had been playing a DS, I'm sure he never would have noticed the apple falling from the tree, so he never would have formulated the theory of gravity.
All moot points.
1)Computer systems weren't even thought of at the time of Isaac Newton, let alone developed enough to be used as a means of entertainment.
2)They are KIDS and she expects them to 'ponder the universe'?
3)There are gamers who ARE going on to become scientists, doctors, etc. It isn't exactly a mutually exclusive thing.
I would say that 'words fail me' with this woman, but clearly they do not.
Yet another miserable creature that decides to call themselves 'a person' has earned my undying contempt.
*facepalm to the nth power* -_-;
Never mind that the average gamer is a man or woman in their 20s-203; a demographic I will be joining on my 20th just days away. Actually a lot of women in their 30s play games, even though they are what we would consider 'casual games', so this is a moot point to begin with.Greg Tito said:

Yet another mandatory overly christian mom telling people on the internet that videogames are BAD and they come from the SATAN! How do I love these know-it-all persons, telling other people to destroy this horrible phenomenom before it takes over!
It indeed is a good day to be nihilist. Really, I couldn't find this many people to laugh at outside the internet.

Who knows???? Maybe he would be chilling in the garden and sitting under the tree while playing his DS and WHAMMO!!! he ACTUALLY gets hit by a falling apple.

I could rage against her so bad, mostly because a product of Satan could never make millions of dollars in revenue and create thousands of jobs.
"After my son plays them at his friends? houses, he comes home irritable and testy for the rest of the day."
Yes, because there is irrefutable evidence that this is because of the games and not some other factor I am not acknowledging.

I'm gonna throw something wild out here and say: maybe this article is a satire?
I'd rather believe that and keep my faith in humanity. I mean, she did post up a wikipedia link to Satan. That's gotta be humour right?
