I gotta get into that market research scam.

"Surveys show christians are reluctant to play video games featuring demonic imagery"

OOA Researchers, LLC, polled  christians recently on the topic of demonic video games. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the vast majority of them were not interested in playing the offered selection of video games featuring demonic imagery, including Doom 3, Diablo 2, and Battlecruiser Millenium.

*total disclosures: OOA = Out Our Ass. Polled group = 20 christians. Vast majority = 17. Battlecruiser may not feature demonic imagery, but satan is definitely involved somehow. We'll do a poll on that next week.

Pluchino indicated that "more than three-quarters of households with a video game console agree that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is doing a good job and that it is ultimately the parents responsibility to control what their children play."

I am pleasantly surprised to see that I am not going to have to start popping glycerin while reading this.  Just goes to show that even Average People are smarter than Clinton and Lieberman.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

The problem with this survey is that it appears to be drawn from people who have a clue.  This is not the majority of the electorate.

"It was a difficult party" - an unexpected word combination from ex-Merry Prankster and author Robert Stone.

Feh. Free advertising Phoenix Marketing International is mostly what this is.

300 respondant "interviews"? 20 questions with a scale of 4 posted online could sent to 3,000 would have given something worth talking about.

Worse, someone probably paid serious buck for this "insight".
