You get what you deserve.

A letter sent to the contact point at MAVAV.Org:

How disgraceful. Do you people have nothing better to do with your time? Maybe if you spent less time “educating” a bunch of gullible worthless parents like yourself with the shit you claim as fact on MAVAV.org and spent more time involved with the nurturing of your children maybe you’d add a little value to their lives. Your web site states the following:

“Symptom: Child spending numerous amount of time in their bedroom and at home”

My parents would have killed to have me spend numerous amounts of time in my bedroom and yet you idiots don’t have the balls to tell your kids to stop playing games? What do you think? They’ll hate you for telling them what to do? That’s your job you retards…. you’re parents. Why don’t you stop trying to be their friends and start being their parents? You have allowed your children to run amuck and now this out of control behavior is the status quo at your house and the cost of doing nothing far exceeds the realities of having to step up and be a parent. But your idea of doing something is to create a web site that boasts statements like these that are horribly skewed and have absolutely no foundation.

It is best for all electronic entertainment devices be placed in a common area where a clock is present and adult supervision is available. If this is not at all possible, we recommend having your child's door remain open and be checked in on every hour.

Pardon my ignorance due to the fact that I have not in my 31 years found the need or desire to create one of these little wastes of time but, I thought that checking in on a child was supervision. Isn’t this actually what a parent is supposed to do anyway, supervise their children? Stop blaming your pathetic attempt at parenting on the video game industry. When your demented little shit of a kid goes out and kills some one it’s going to be because you didn’t love them enough and that they were so starved for attention they thought going to jail was the only thing they could do to gain your attention…which was wasted on this ridiculous waste of time you call MAVAV.org.

Symptom: Poor school grades
“Never assume drugs or otherwise is the problem for your child's poor academic performance. Video game addiction is not to be under-estimated. It is a serious epidemic plaguing our children nationwide. We recommend getting professional psychiatric help.”

Are you fucking serious… you’re actually trying to equate super Mario Brothers and Pokemon to Crack, Heroine, LSD, and Cocaine? You know, now that you mention it I think I did see a 12-year-old girl selling her ass for a copy of Sponge Bob Square Pants on the corner of Sunset and Vine in Hollywood the other day. Wow! You guys hit the nail on the head with this one! How about sitting your kids down at the dinner table and have them do their homework in front of you prior to going to their rooms to play some games, which in themselves are very good educational tools for people of all ages.
Major Universities started studying the effects of gaming on the human mind as far back as 1998 and have found evidence to the contrary of your deplorable web site and organization. (please see Steven Johnson’s' "Your Brain on Video Games" Discover Magazine or http://www3.essdack.org/socialstudies/videogames.htm ) Now take into consideration these researchers had actual data to disperse once their studies had been completed. I have yet to see mention of any actual data in your feeble little web site. Not one! Show me some proof that this stuff is corrupting kids, any proof at all and I’ll try to digest it but no, you can’t even do that. It has been proven by psychiatric professionals that, when children can count on getting attention at home, they have a greater sense of security and self-worth. Why don’t you dick heads start seeking professional help instead of subjecting your children to such torture?

Symptom: Unusual "Role-Playing"

While the focus and idea behind MMORPG seems utopian and innocent, the emotional and mental wellness of the gamer can be severely affected: increased anxiety and irritability, argumentative, appetite and weight loss, impaired judgment, paranoia, sadness and depression, loss of interest in appearance, and sleeplessness

You plagiarizing ignorant FUCK you stole these symptoms right off of this web site.

Get a grip and realize you have way too much time on your hand and your not spending it with your children who are undoubtedly sucking dick for copies of HALO2.

We caution parents to never hand out credit card information or sign up their child for any suspicious online and monthly services.

My only comment to this retarded advice is: If you allow your children to take your credit card and go online unsupervised for any reason you are a soulless cow and deserve every bit of pop-up porn that invades your computer and hopefully to my delight it will infect said computer.

Danger: Do video games make people violent?Yes. What was once a debatable question, is now fact. New research has concluded that video game violence and behavior related violence are in fact closely related.

Again with your “Facts” where are they, show them to me…you got NOTHIN’!!!!!!!!!!


Danger: Do video games teach people how to kill?

Oh yeah it’s all because of the video games. It’s well known that Hitler was a big fan of Doom 3 and Quake and it was these games that demented him to the point of committing the most atrocious crimes in recent human history. Charles Manson and Jim Jones “The Kool-Aid killer” regularly met on X-Box live for Halo tournaments and it was this type of activity that created those demons.

“This research arrived be so conclusive that the U.S. government Army developed a free video game to be used as a virtual boot camp and killing simulator.”

First: go back to school you illiterate bitch and learn how to formulate a sentence: This research arrived be so conclusive… What does that mean? I hope for your child’s sake none of his or her friends know that you’re the ones behind this crap because if so you are going to alienate them from what ever social circles they are currently part of effectively making them hate you even more…good job dick head.
