Modern Warfare 2: MPs Create Facebook Group

I’ll be glad when today is over as we seem to be getting a Modern Warfare story every few seconds. The latest is that MP Tom Watson (Labour) has set up a Facebook group that ’aims to coordinate responses to articles in the media which, gamers claim, do not give a fair view of their hobby’. The catalyst for this action is the views of another MP, Keith Vaz (Labour) who keen readers may recall from my previous article, is a bit a numpty when it comes to games.  According to *sigh* The Daily Mail, Keith Vaz has looked at Modern Warfare 2 and decided,

“I am absolutely shocked by the level of violence in this game and am particularly concerned about how realistic the game itself looks.”

Vaz  is to raise the issue in Parliament today, hopefully with Tom Watson and Ed Vaizey on standbye to shoot him down. Those of you wishing to joing the Facebook can click here.
