A post on Computer and Video Games takes Daily Mail columnist Anne Diamond, Channel 5 presenter Matthew Wright, and former heartthrob Stephanie Powers to task for their hysterical commentary on video games. This prompts them to create a W.R.O.N.G. badge, which honors the "Witless and Ridiculous Opinions Of Non-Gamers." They transcribe a portion of a television exchange (which can't be viewed in this territory) to explain:

Matthew Wright: It was one of the most shocking news reports I've ever seen. That someone could peddle up, take his machine gun out and spray people [with bullets], almost without looking at who he was hitting. [Turns to Powers]: But I guess as an American, you've seen more than your fair share of teenagers and gun stories.

Stefanie Powers: I'm afraid so. And I hate to think that as Americans we've exported along with rap music and the horrible video... I say the horrible video culture. It's the horrible violent video games [wiggles thumbs] which, I'm terribly sorry, they've been used far too long as baby-sitting devices, so that children are raised with these flashing, hot symbols of violence. And irresponsible violence; there's no responsibility to the violence.

MW: Absolutely. Which you can equate with a teenage boy who almost certainly would have played just those games, spraying a machine gun without...

Anne Diamond: Well in fact, having just that sort of armoury under his bed - just like you'd have a couple of Nintendos and a PlayStation under your bed.

MW: Yep. Yep.

SP: And it's probably that emotionally he's just as detached from the potential of this as he would be with his Nintendo.
