PHOENIXZERO: Wonder if Jack ever got the memo that attacking a judge, especially the one who presided over your own hearing will only make him look worse.

PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".

Krono: @PHOENIXZERO: Would that be the AP story about how schools should teach 11+ year old how to avoid abusive datings relationships?

PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<

PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>

Bonus points for the accent!
If there is ever an open floor day in Congress, would somebody please recommend that the two Congressmen sponsoring the Truth in Videogames Ratings bill watch this clip while being smacked in the face with a halibut.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the work
The fact he's a recovering addict is also quite inspirational.
I thought he was making a reference to how Dubya called it "The google."
"Old person" you say?....Bush...is an old person...
That's what TiVo is for.
Alright, old people and stupid people both do it.
I got this fun visual of him typing "The Grand Theft Auto" into Google though.
No shit. Part of why he's old is the result of all the things he has to do as President.
@Void
Cute.
Cigarettes: Get someone else to buy them or steal them from their parents.
Alcohol: Steal it from their parents' liquor cabinet
Games: Use fake IDs or get their dumbass parents to buy it for them since they'll ignore the ESRB rating
"... I noticed he was doing the old person thing of putting “the” in front of things that should not have them, “The Google”, “The Grand Theft Auto”, “The video games”, etc."
I'm pretty sure that was intentional.
"Use fake IDs or get their dumbass parents to buy it for them since they’ll ignore the ESRB rating "
If I ignore the ESRB rating when buying a mature-themed game for my daughter why does that make me a dumbass? What if I just don't buy the notion that pixellated violence on a TV screen turns my daughter into a psychopath?
The dumbasses are those who want the ESRB warning but who don't pay attention to it when buying their kids games, and who later ask angrily for their money back (as if it's the salesperson's fault) when they realise the game they bought for their kid is GTA IV.
I'm pretty sure that's what Ken meant.
Kind of like with "The Bully"?

That;s the trick to this guy's show. The monologues are amazing, but the rest of it is rubbish.
Nice new site GP. Looks very professionnal!
@Chadachada123
there's a login link on the right side of the page. Your old GamePolitics account has been moved over

I'm not sure which is better this or the very old San Andreas/legislative hearing thing from Jon Stewart.
'Don't they know how much porn is on the internet?'
vs.
'Many feel the M for mature rating is too vague and completely inaccurate in describing anyone who plays video games'
Close Call.
I'll make sure to watch this video when I get home...
Thought I'd just point out that the new site design is pretty good
I've always been a loyal Conan watcher, but his monolouges have always been epic fail while the rest of the show was hilarious. Craig might be getting a new viewer for his monologues.
OMG I LOVE THIS NEW SITE
Dennis, thanks so much for this :)
These rants were great. It made sense, even though it was clear there were some things he dissaproved in it.
(Captchas are annoying. Failed Tenth Time. Did this CAPTCHA get tested on any resolution higher than 1280x1024? It's absolutely impossible to read!)
Always wondered what happened to him. Was on UK tv quite a bit a number of years ago but then just disappeared.
Glad to see he's still as funny as he always was
