Proof that Videogames are Violent

Gamespot is reporting a tragic story that provides irrefutable proof that videogames are violent.
Quote:
The Associated Press is reporting today that Atlus is recalling all 150 of its Arm Spirit cabinets after receiving word that three players had suffered broken arms at the machine's mechanical hand.
Okay, first off:

1) The Japanese are making arm wrestling arcade games now?
2) Their quality control is so lax that they put out a product that maims the user.
3) What. The. Fcuk?

Not surprising. Have you seen how much damage you can do in Atlus's Disgeae?

I wanted to get a picture of his lip actually touching his own shoulder, but no luck.

There's been an arm wrestling game in US arcades since I was a kid! It is hard as hell!

There was a boxing game we used to play all the time at the Bar. I was pretty good at it, had the top score for the longest time. I could blow up a planet with one punch!

The Over the top reference was good, but this puts me in mind of that scene in the Jeff Goldblum remake of The Fly.

Oh yeah. And the Colbert Report has been showing that clip for the past week because Colbert hurt his wrist. I wonder if this will show up on the show? He might just put video games on notice.

A few people got hurt, that is no reason to strong arm the game out of arcades.

When they try to remove them lets hope the machines don't take up arms.
