"So what do you think we’ll blame for corrupting america’s youth?"

I saw in one article Henry Jenkins was talking about how people who grew up playing video games are coming into power slowly and that this hubub over games will die down. However, he said the new thing the older generation would not understand and lash out against could be something like the new social networking sites. I immediately thought "Crap like MySpace is for losers and sissies..." after reading it before being hit by the irony of it. Apparently I'm already old.
