'The game made me do it'... it's right up there with 'The devil made me do it' - it comes down to people not wanting to be accountable for their actions, from the Kids : 'ooohhh scary voices from the tv told me to kill/steal/beat, when what I actually need is some parental voice to tell me No, I shouldn't do x' - to the parents 'ooohh scary voices from the tv made them do it, our parenting couldn't possibly be at fault - we're good parents, just look at this, we let them have what ever they want, see? - '18' films, '18' games, that must make us good parents ... we don't need this discipline stuff.. just slip little Johnny a tenner and tell him to go and amuse himself...'.....
Good thing Marilyn Manson hadn't done the music for the game, he'd well and truly be up poo creek....
I spent hours playing 'advanced lawnmower' simulator when I was a kid - I never once felt the urge to go and really mow the lawn (much to my mums dismay).

Of course we care what the Daily Mail thinks - it's the moral guardian of the country, if not the world, don't you know - if the Daily Mail says it's wrong, it must be, and who are we to argue with the all knowing paper?????
