Clever Geek of the Week

Watch A Fox Reporter Demolish A Hackneyed Anti-Game Argument - Kotaku Australia

It takes a very special "expert" in the evils of video games and TV violence to actually have Fox News question their statement and actually come out almost in support of video games, but that is exactly what happened to evangelist Franklin Graham when he popped up arguing the benefits of taxing violent video games.

Fox News is infamous in gaming circles for running sensationalist stories decrying how video games will be the downfall of civilisation as we know it, so to see reporter John Stossel not only question Graham's statements but also come out with evidence that flat out proved him wrong is a thing of pure beauty, even if I do find the thought of agreeing with Fox News disturbing and frightening.

So, Franklin Graham, for being such an ineffectual "expert" that you make Fox News look good I hereby name you this week's "Clever Geek of The Week"
