Jon Stewart on "Stop Hurting America ['s Gamers]" and gamers as influential

(tags game, politics, parody, criticism)

Jon Stewart, The Daily Show's front man, and video games usually don't mix, but when members of the U.S. Congress proclaim absurd stances, you can be sure Jon Stewart will lambast them. So to my delight Jon Stewart of "Stop Hurting America [Crossfire]" finally takes to task the absurd furor over "inappropriate" game content and rating systems. (Thanks Joystiq) The on-location scene inside of GTA: San Andreas was not funny, though. I don't even give them kudos for trying.

And then MTV Games web site has an enlighting post on influential gamers. Hm, the Adventure (Atari 2600) easter egg finder gamer, sure. And that GTA: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" easter egg finder gamer, sure. (Thanks again Joystiq)
