In Detroit, the city of peace and understanding, a deadly list has arisen. Kym Worthy, the city prosecutor who blames her city’s violence problems on video games , has released her very own Jack Thompson style “don’t buy your kids these games for the holidays” list.
Ya know, because there was no violence in the world before games like Space Invaders came along. The list is enough to make you puke. Well, here it is:
Check them out after the jump!
- Grand Theft Auto (last released on consoles 2004; PSP, 2006) – GTAIV got delayed until after the holidays. I think she should specify which one she is talking about. If she is talking about the original, that’s sad.
- Manhunt (2004, we assume they mean 2007’s Manhunt 2) – They took out the neck hole humping. What more do you want.
- Scarface (2006) – Bad Tony Montana voice aside.
- 50 Cent Bulletproof (2005) Did anybody really buy 3 and 4?
- 300 (Feb, 2007) It was PG13 in the theater, how bad could it be?
- The Godfather (PS3 – March, 2007; other versions, 2006)
- Killer-7 (2005) More like Killer-Boring. How many Game Cubes are still out there?
- Resident Evil 4 (Wii, PC 2007; other versions 2005) So, all the previous one’s are okay?
- God of War (2005; we assume they mean 2007’s GoW2) I think she was talking about the first one.
- Hitman-Blood Money (2006) This one seems like it belongs.
“Please do not buy these video games and bring them into your home,” Worthy said. “It desensitizes (children) to violent acts.” Well, f***ing DUH! I would never allow children to be around any of these game. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to play them. If you’re a good parent and you play these games, you can and will keep your kids away from them. She acts like if you have this game within a hundred feet of your child and they’ll turn into Charlie Manson.
Even more impressive is her sheer stupidity. There are no new “in-demand” games on this list. Most of these games are more than two years old.
Way to be on top of that “dangerous” games list. Hope nobody has played these games yet, or we may have a mess on our hands!

Brilliant list, gotta keep the little ones safe. She’s a little late to the party anyway, every newspaper and tv station already has one of these things telling parents that video games are tools for teaching children how to maim and kill. Sounds like Jacky Boy has a potential date to the “Blame-pop-culture-and video-games-in-particular” party.
So is she saying that it is ok to buy games like Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, and Gears of War for their kids? Gosh she is so irresponsible! Lets blame her now for all the pre-pubescent kids on Halo 3! Or maybe Bungie, Microsoft, Activision, and Epic all bought ad space from her? hmmmm…
Another stupid obsessed american
Right on Keith!
