It’s true, folks: Those warnings about violent video games leading to violent behavior by the players have been around for a long time. But look at Skunk Head — he’s the exact opposite of violent. He’s fat, lazy, passive, chronically depressed, and unwilling to change anything about his pathetic “existence.”

“Juvenile delinquency“…is that term even still used in this century? It conjures up sensational scenes from movies such as “Blackboard Jungle” or “West Side Story”. And “that guy on TV last night” wasn’t talking about mere JD’s; the issue was aggressive behavior in young people, and the possible links between that behavior and video games. It’s a topic that has generated much debate. But DSH John has already made up his mind, even to the point of serving as living proof to the contrary.
