From last night's Daily Show. When politicians talk about games... and Jon Stewart gets ahold of them.

Oh how I heart the Daily Show.

The video game sound effect bit was hilarious.

I used to love the Daily Show, but now all I watch from it are the funny highlights that are posted on the internet.

Congressman Joe Pitts: "It's safe to say that a wealthy kid from the suburbs can play Grand Theft Auto or similar games without turning to a life of crime, but a poor kid who lives in a neighbourhood where people really do steal cars, or deal drugs, or shoot cops, might not be so fortunate..."

...Are there really people this stupid in the world?

Congressman Joe Pitts, again: "There's almost certainly a child somewhere in America who is going to be hurt by this game. Maybe his dad's in jail, or his big brother is already down on the corner dealing drugs."

...I'm not even sure how to respond to that one.

I'm currently looking for gamers with an interest in the gaming culture and industry outside of Final Fantasy to help with a new, upcoming video game news site. If you think you're interested, please throw a PM my way.

Yes, yes there are. I just sat there gaping at my screen at some of the **** they were saying.

Introduce him to your very successful parents, then shoot his wife in the head.

Ditto.

That said, the "Live Report from San Andreas" was a hoot.

Samantha Bee, Senior Playstationoligist: "Sorry Jon, sorry. I thought I saw some money and some life power behind a dumpter back there. Turns out it was just a body."

It's rare to see jokes based on computer games actually ending up being funny. For once, it actually was.
