Games Kill You and Using Drugs Makes You Bad at Them; Then Kill You

Games have appeared in the real world media quite a bit the last few days. Most recently a number of developers have hit back at the UK Change 4 Life campaign that shows a poster of a young boy holding a PS3 controller with the headline 'Risk an early death, do nothing'. Sega in particular are unleashing the lawyers on the campaigns ass. Fingers crossed for common sense prevailing. Across the pond in the US an anti drugs campaign is targeing teens who play World of Warcraft, among other games, highlighting that smoking pot will make them, well, bad at raids. Yes the ad campaign is as stupid as it sounds and the several million dollars it cost has been well spent, of course kids who PC game are a high risk group for drug use. Read about drugs and gaming here and read Sega's mad on over another brainless government health campaign here.
