Author Salman Rushdie Mentions Games on Colbert Report

It is better to feel that this guy is only saying things from his opinion and not forcing anyone to believe his statements. So it is nothing to get all hyped up about in my view. But yeah, he angered alot of muslims, and I can see why. But you have to understand that you can't force change into a society who does not want change, only in the younger generation who desires change will there be a change in thought or common belief about such things. Give it time, like already there are many muslim kids who love Videogames even though their parents either hate Videogames or are just completely lost on it. Although I would love to hear from a muslim parent who at least saw the fun side of Videogames.

Not a backhanded compliment. Until (at some point in the distant future), games are considered high art, they (like most modern movies, music, etc) will be considered "garbage" by the powers that be. Authorities do not fear high class art they can more easily control. They fear low class art that is consumed by the masses and whose message they cannot restrict.

Sort of slow on the uptake as this episodes was shown last week if if I remember correctly.
