The Onion Asks: Are Games Preparing Kids for the Apocalypse?

by Warren Riddle on February 27, 2009 at 09:44 AM



The Onion, America's leader in fair and unbiased reporting, turned its investigative journalists loose this week to uncover the truth about violence in video games and, more specifically, whether or not games are adequately preparing our children for the impending apocalypse.

While the reporters couldn't come to a consensus on the necessary extent of preparation, they agreed that the games are in fact addressing our basic future needs (such as collecting morning dew in human skulls, and how to find a med kit to heal zombie bites). The video is a must-view for any parents concerned about the effects of violence on their children, and whether or not that violence will sufficiently and accurately train them for the inevitable End of Days.
