Very informative and quite humorous to watch - catch this episode if you can.

NSFW link [contains vulgar text]: Penn & Teller B.S. - Video Games

slight spoiler - I can definitely relate to how the 9 year old acted at the end of the program. There is a HUGE difference between shooting a weapon in a pc game and shooting a weapon in real life.

Cliff notes of the episode:

"Politicians and other alarmists claim that playing video games leads to teen violence. Penn & Teller attempt to debunk that theory by handing over a real semi-automatic weapon to a nine-year-old to see if playing video games will turn him into a human killing machine."

That fatty hypocrite at E for all is straight out of ATOT. He took trolling to real life.

Yea that guy is funny and scary.

I love Penn & Teller BS series. They talk about almost everything we want to know is true or false.
 
I like how the boy started crying after he shot the AR-15.. MAN UP BITCH.. The zombie invasion is coming and if you can't fire off a single round without being a little bitch that isn't going to help.

Speaking of manning up, I'd thought you'd be in Iran by now, or North Korea, playing Rambo. Pussy out?

Keep it in P&N- PC Gaming Mod-DAPUNISHER
 
I watched this episode on TV the other night and I couldn't help but laugh at everything they covered. Even the goofy dude at E! that said something like "Fuck Jack Thompson".

And poor kid. Having fired guns in real life and in games, I think the one thing people do not prepare for is the fact that a gun is an explosion going off in your hands. And that can hurt and shock you. You can tell the kid definitely felt it in his jaw.

That dude looked cool to chill with. Though I wish I had the time to do ten hours of gaming a day :Q He said, "one more thing, Jack Thompson is a fuckin' asshole." Truer words were never spoken.
 
It was on last Thursday on TMN up here in Canada but I missed it unfortunately. Had to do the early shift the next day. 😛
Was probably interesting to watch. I love Penn & Teller's BS but I always seem to miss it.
 
Penn's reaction to the "FPS = mass murder simulator" dude when he found out that guy is a gun-nut collector who only objects to virtual guns is priceless. "Wtf? WTF!!!??"
 
man that was a great episode, my wife didn't believe Jack Thompson was real, she thought he was an actor playing a douchebag

Hmm.... I'm guessing you need to be logged in to view the episode?

I registered and no love. So are people watching this on TV? Because all I am getting is the preview.

Me too. Just the "Fire Triangle".
 
FYI - It's Season 7 Episode 3 [if you want to search for the video via the internet or newsgroups] 🙂
