I nearly wet myself laughing as he said comic stuff like "it's not as if 
I should all be horrified at these video games teaching our children to 
kill, maim, and massacre" and then we'd cut to some anal social pariah 
declaring "I am horrified at these video games teaching our children to 
kill, maim, and massacre". It is a pity this programme won't make it to 
more mainstream showing as there are some very good points made along 
the way. Okay, "Rapelay" is a pretty icky concept and morally gross, but 
is capturing and raping a mother and her two (child) daughters really 
any better or worse than hacking people to pieces with an axe?



Best wishes,

Rick.
