No Russian

I'm not a huge videogame fan, but the other day I was watching someone play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on Youtube instead of, I dunno, having a life. In the middle of all the explosions and gunfire it cut to a scene of someone filming their wife and daughter having fun in London when a car bomb suddenly blows everyone sky high. Who the hell thought that would be something anyone would want to see? I've heard you can change the settings to cut out "offensive content". But still it's like the people who make these games think no one will play them unless they're controversial. There was another part in another game where you shoot civilians at an airport, but that was more fun because most of it was killing security guards and people with riot shields and you could actually take part, rather than simply watching someone die horrribly. But to all those parents who get all pissed off because their kids are shooting people, don't buy them a game called Modern Warfare with a picture of an armed soldier on the front. Chances are there will be guns in the game and those guns will be fired at people.
