The above statement from kayleigh's signature shows lack of insight into the argument it's trying to make a point against. It's obvious kids generally won't identify with pacman. It's obvious they won't relate things going on in pacman to what goes on in the real world. However, pacman is not equal to, say, GTA4 - a point that may have gone over the head of the originator behind that quote.

Pointing to your own childhood and pacman as proof that video games don't affect kids is stupid. I realize it's supposed to be funny, but I don't think it is. 3/10!
