"Some robbers tried to burglarize a poor old lady and her 3 grandsons. Her grandsons happened to be playing Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, and the sounds of the police from the game scared them away! From the article: "The police in the game were saying, 'Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police.’ The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by Playstation." Now, no more saying games are bad for you..."

ROFL...

Finally, vindication! Violent video games stop crime and violence! Think of the children! What would our society be like without these games?

You've never seen an episode of America's Dumbest Criminals, have you, Tatsumi? Once you see a guy try to rob a place with a bag over his head, with no eyeholes, you know that there's no limit to criminal stupidity.

Or the guy who hides inside a mall until they lock up, and then can't get out...
Or the guy who forces the bank manager into the safe, then cuts the wires to the electric safe door...
Or the guy who puts his gun on the counter and demands all the money, when the clerk grabs the gun...
Or the guy who tries to rob a store with a comb...

What about the Darwin Awards?

See my sig. There's no limit to stupidity

You saw the same episode!

How 'bout the blind guy that was helped up to the bank counter by a security guard, then passed over a note demanding money? The teller just mouthed, "It's a robbery," to the guard, and the guy was nabbed.

That show as the greatest. And the theme song... "Dumb... dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb... dumb... dumb dumb.... dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb..."

We should get an audio clip of that song and have it play over Wong's Hatemail page.

EDIT: Hope this isn't TOO much of a hijack away from the topic of stupid ne'er-do-wells.
