Jack Thompson is right!

Videogames deprave our children, and I'm glad someone finally steps up to the plate and take
a swing at the culprits responsible for this depravation. I want to be able to leave my
children in front of a computer or console for hours at a time, without having to worry about
them being exposed to content, that will scar them for life, or even worse make criminals out
of them.

On that note I want Mario banned from every retailer in the world. I don't like the idea of
my children looking up to an obese, italian plumber, and especially one as morally inept as
Mario. Is this really a rolemodel for our children??
I say nay. Mario is a drug abusing  psychopath. When he's not getting high on mushrooms, he
spends his time jumping on innocent animals or smashing them with a huge mallet.
If that's not enough, Nintendo also decided to promote littering and road rage. I'm talking
about Mario Kart. This game series only teaches children, that it's okay to throw  trash on
the road, ram into each other when in control of a motorized vehicle and in general pay no
attention to speed limits. To add insult to injury the cruelty towards animals seems to be a
recurring theme. If you're out of trash, then by all means throw whatever is at hand after
other motorists. It doesn't matter if it's an animal or not, as long as you get your revenge.



Finally, the newest games in the Mario universe have taken the drug abuse up one notch. It's
no longer enough to have the main character eat mushrooms, Nintendo wants children to
experience what it's like to be on drugs by letting them fly around among the stars, which is
nothing but a glorification of a so called "high". I've never experimented with drugs myself,
but let me tell you this: a drug "high" is nothing like flying among the stars. It's a brain
melting experience that more often than not will leave the abuser in a psychosis.



We need to stop this kind of filth at the source. A worldwide ban of the Mario games is not
enough, Nintendo will have to close down to make sure we can leave our children unattended in
front of a console or computer. How can these people live with themselves?? Do their families
even know what they're doing for a living??
