Venezuelan president says PlayStation is 'poison,' leads children...

4.8
Venezuela's extreme leftist president Hugo Chavez recently took aim at the PlayStation and non-indigenous toys in his weekly radio-TV show, Alo Presidente. According to the AFP, Chavez stated, "Those games they call 'PlayStation' are poison. Some games teach you to kill." El Presidente had previously knocked Nintendo for promoting "selfishness, individualism and violence." He believes video games reinforce capitalism which, of course, is "the road to hell."

Chavez would like to see Venezuela making "educational games" instead of Super Murder Simulator VI and "little indigenous dolls" in place of Barbie. Venezuela's (sometimes paranoid) government outlawed violent games last October in an effort to curb the country's extremely high violent crime rate.

He probably didn't mention the Xbox cuz MS would just cut him off from updates and his infrastrucure would die from constant e-attacks. Then forcing him to go bankrupt by updating all the computers in Venezuela with full copies of 7. Like slitting his own political throat and *****ing the wound. Or not.

Is this a joke? A government that provides a safe haven for some of the worlds most wanted drug traffickers is pretending to care about violence?
