Awesome. Thank god for Conan.
Is he mocking the game or the critics?
Conan, unlike many satirists, just goes way beyond making fun of either side of a controversy. He just makes it stupid. (This is not a criticism of Conan O'Brien. I happen to think stupid is funny!) It might be more accurate to say that he is making fun of the controversy itself.
... Games meet politics, right? I am at the right site, aren't I?
Ahahaha that was worth a few laughs...
This was alright. Conan's done better stuff.
Not a huge Conan fan. He should go back to writing for the Simpsons rather than telling his own jokes. Remember how funny The Simpsons were back in the early seasons? That's because Conan wrote for them.
Something's telling me it might be you
@belgarion

No.
It started out funny, and then got repetitive and boring. Conan is a master at beating a joke to death.
WHAT! THAT GUY GOT PUNCHED IN THE HEAD FOR ASKING QUESTIONS! THIS GAME PROMOTES VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE WHO ASK QUESTIONS! BAN IT! BAN IT!!
IT ALSO PROMOTES PUBLIC HOMOSEXUALITY! THIS IS A MAJOR THREAT TO OUR CHILDREN! BAN IT TWICE! BAN!
Glen's right, this game promotes the beating of homo-sexuals. Thank you Conan O'Brien for bringing this travesty to our immediate attention.
I liked it, I found it quite funny :p .
LOL, this feels like a Shenmue in America for some reason.
wow, what the hell is with all the Conan hate?
Thanks Conan!
I giggled. I liked it better than the Daily Show bit.
this was so fun to watch last night xD
Conan
Pretty funny.
Glen’s right, this game promotes the beating of homo-sexuals. Thank you Conan O’Brien for bringing this travesty to our immediate attention.



Of course, we will have to ban the censored version of Final Fight as well, because in place of the ladies being part of the mad gear gang, you have homosexuals (or at least really effeminate men).

GoodRobotUs: Which seems to be the only point Jack proved, that some people find some games offensive. i.e. Nothing.
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:57pm
GoodRobotUs: The discussion was supposed to be whether games were dangerous not 'Do you find some games offensive'...
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:55pm
GoodRobotUs: Some agreed, some didn't, but it was their choice to make, not the governments.
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:55pm
GoodRobotUs: By asking the audience their opinion, he more or less proved that it's a matter of personal choice
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:55pm
GoodRobotUs: Meh, he ended proving Mark's point for him

JDKJ: I still think my buddy the midget who rides a unicycle backwards while juggling four bowling pins would have been a much bigger hit with that crowd. And he can make up statistics and misinterpret studies, too.

Alyric: Of course, Mark falls into the common trap about Columbine, which had nothing to do with bullying, etc. See: http://slate.msn.com/id/2099203/?GT1=3256 for a more thorough explanation.

PHX Corp: JT is afraid of such ban then advocates it That's what i call a total Hypocrite
Posted 07/04/09 at 05:50pm
PHX Corp: AE: JT is a -Bleeping- Jackass
Posted 07/04/09 at 05:07pm
Andrew Eisen: JT "knew it would be a good audience." Not what he said on Tuesday.
Posted 07/04/09 at 05:01pm
Andrew Eisen: VG cause violent behavior. VG companies influence behavior to get sales. Yeah, that makes sense. (To be fair, the Twitter feed makes deciphering JT's point pretty tough.)
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:52pm
Andrew Eisen: Yes, it's been proposed but as far as I know it has not been passed. Big difference.
