Nothing ticks me off quite so fast as a so-called "scientist" who uses their credentials to seek fame and notoriety rather than the truth. This chick has decided to make some hay over violent video games, but when pressed for details on the "numerous studies" she cites, it's amazing how "busy" she is and can't take the time away from testifying in front of Congress to provide something to back it up:
Playing the rape card: "Media psychiatrist" ratchets up anti-videogame rhetoric
I especially love the quote towards the end where she says that if she wasn't an expert, Congress wouldn't want her to testify
It's more like, if she wasn't helping push someone's agenda, Congress wouldn't want her to testify.
This of course is the same tactic used by gun banners, global warming alarmists, anti-junk food activists, and everyone else with a moral panic they want turned into legislation. It pisses me off to no end.
