I don't know much about anythig, however, I have the feeling that bad parenting is the source to most problems.

Let's look at some other lawsuits that have been filed,
WWE sued by parents of kid that ended paralyzed from practicing "backyard wrestling" (I can picture it, Mom, can I borrow the cheese grater to use it on Jimmy's face?)

Mcdonalds sued by fat kid's parents (Mom, I'm hungry, could YOU please fix me something? I'm kinda tired of Big mac's? What? No, ok, I'll have the quarter pounder with extra large fries with dripping oil and extra sugary sprite)

Those are the other fivolous lawsuits I can remember right now.

In all cases, where were the parents when these kids got the Videogame?, I can't remember buying a videogame by myself at the age of 16, it usually meant going to the store with my mom or dad and basically having to run the story behind the game before he/she bought it for me, sure it was embarassing, but now I know that it worked for them, because they were getting informed of what type of game I was playing. I landed my first real job at 18 and by that time I was well aware that you couldn't pull off somebody's skull from the body just like depicted in Mortal Kombat.

It's usually the parents that have to attend to several things at the same time that forget to supervise the children, most parents think that videogames are a simple cartoonish fantasy that will get the kids off their backs so that they can have time to manage the household and leave time to play cards or watch the game.

Shit, if my parents hadn't paid attention to me, I'd probably would be prize fighting brazilian green mutants, hindu stretching men or Spanish gay bullfighters with hokey masks.

It's pathetic
