Video Games Cause Chuck E. Cheese Violence

A shocking post on PlayGirlz talks about kids’ videogaming leading to violence… between their mothers.

Talk about leading by example. An argument between two Massachusetts moms came to blows in defense of their sons’ gaming habits. At a Chuck E. Cheese.

This is not an early April Fool’s gag folks, this is an accurate representation of the current state of humanity. Apparently Mom A got a little cranky at the restaurant cum playland when Mom B’s little darling hogged an arcade game. Mom B apparently didn’t like Mom A’s tone and soon the cops had to be called in to separate the tousling pair.

Both are now charged with simple assault and battery and even more importantly, their children have learned that even the most mundane of problems can be addressed using violence. No word on what the arcade game actually was, or exactly how a youngster hogging a video game could so enrage supposedly mature adults, but hey, maybe Jack Thompson has been right all along…

Good thing the kids weren’t playing ice hockey, then things could really have gotten out of hand.
