As you’ve probably heard, the latest horsesh*t to come fromThe Daily “Ban This Sick Filth” Mailwas a complaintthat black-and-white brawlerMadWorldwould spoil the “family friendly” image of the Wii and should therefore be made illegal in the UK. Games industry marketing veteran Bruce Everiss, who hasmade waves in the pastwith his unique critique of the anti-games lobby,has hit outat the ridiculousDaily Mailpiece,
“They really are just trying to sell newspapers with sensationalism because nobody with a brain can be stupid enough to believe what they have written.” stated Everiss. He then provided his own counterpoints to the assumptions and rhetoric provided byThe Mail:
Everiss of course makes total sense, andThe Daily Mailof course will ignore it completely, because it doesn’t care. Nobody working for Britain’s unfunniest comic book actually gives a crap one way or another about videogames, but it’s very easy to pretend to be offended if it alarms the public and keeps people hooked on your own increasingly obsolete medium. Oh, and further to Everiss’ first point, I think that’s academic — nobody with a brain readsThe Daily Failanyway.
