I heard a sound bite of Dr. Phil blaming video games on the horrible events at Virginia Tech.
Get a grip doc and get some facts on your side before you start spewing out garbage just so you have something to fill your self-serving TV show.
They interviewed Cho Seung Hui's room mate and he never remember seeing him playing games, nor were there any game systems or titles found in there dorm room.
This guy had more issues than could be caused by video games. Even Rush Limbaugh, who is usually not the voice of reason, had this quote about Phil's comments.
"People have a tough time accepting a relatively simple explanation for something of this scale," said Limbaugh. "But how many people are playing video games out there? How many millions of people play video games, and how many millions of people have guns?"
I mean, I love Unreal Tourney and the Need for Speed series, but I'm not fantasizing about driving at 130 MPH shooting everyone in sight.
I get really frustrated at individuals who have a public forum and do not respect the intelligence of their audience enough to do any research or just say things to get a reaction.
Thank you Oprah for giving us this moron.

Now for someone who is such a proponent of radio and "free speech" I am surprised that it never occured to you that maybe, just maybe they only took a portion of what Dr. Phil was saying and ONLY played that part for the world to hear? Of course they would, I believe that's called good 'ole sensationalism and yes, it even happens on satallite radio. Additionally, believing something that Cho's roommate says holds no weight with me because didn't he have a killer living with him for all this time? And don't tell me he didn't know he was a freak, everyone knew this kid had issues. You started to a blog to get people talking so here's my comment, I don't think that Dr. Phil is blaming Video Games on the VA Tech tragedy just like I wouldn't believe a clip of a sound byte which probably had 30 more minutes of dialouge was the gosple either. Would you?
You go Ro!! I'm with you. How can you call Dr. Phil a moron.....when you listen to Howard Stern! Now that's a moron in my book. I guess it's just all a matter of opinion. Phyllis
I do listen to Stern yes that is true, but Howard just speaks his mind and doesnt profess to be some kind of answer man for all peoples problems like Dr. Phil.
To each his own.
D~
Hey, Daryl, there is a REASON why there is a DR. in front of "Dr. Phil." He's not professing to solve peoples problems, that's what he does for a living.
