			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t been following the whole Michael Atkinson thing closely, because I&#8217;m not really into politics. But basically from what I can see, this asshat doesn&#8217;t like video games. Especially not violent ones or ones involving sex.<br />
I think he really does miss the point, if kids are getting games that they shouldn&#8217;t be playing. Then there are 2 parties at fault, 1. The parents for buying the thing. 2. The shops for selling games to kids under the recommended age. Maybe there is a good place to start looking as to why these kids are getting these video games. Giving Australia an R18+ classification is a GOOD thing to do, at the moment any kid can walk into a game store and pick up a copy of Playboy Mansion for XBOX Classic, and take them all of 15 minutes to have a Playboy Bunny on a bed, digital breasts in the kids face getting her brains shagged out. I know this, because it took me all of 15 minutes to do it.<br />
But that game really doesn&#8217;t interest me, ironically. I think Prototype is a hell of a lot more entertaining.</p>
<p>I do wonder if Michael Atkinson has kids, do they play games? Do they go to Westminster School and realise that the person supporting their kids in the I.T. Department likes to play war games? Bet he wouldn&#8217;t like that would he! That would be ironic <img src='http://www.theskywaspink.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Accusing Gamers4Croydon of dirty tricks and what not, well that just gives me a reason to vote for them because Michael Atkinson sounds like a right blind knob.<br />
I&#8217;m considering writing a letter to him, not every gamer is into dirty tricks.<br />
Robin Williams plays games, he&#8217;s a funny man. He plays Day of Defeat.<br />
Dave Chappelle plays games, he&#8217;s a funny man. He plays World of Warcraft.<br />
Megan Fox plays games, she&#8217;s hot! She plays console games like Mortal Kombat.</p>
<p>Ben Affleck, Vin Diesel, Cameron Diaz, Hulk Hogan&#8230; All World of Warcraft players. Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt all fans of getting on Wii Fit.</p>
<p>See, not everyones into dirty tricks Mr. Atkinson.</p>
