Evil Game Causes Dog to Attack Child. Or Not.

Parents across the country are being warned to destroy all video games  and consoles after it emerged that a young, innocent, middle class white English girl has been attacked whilst playing a video game.

The child had been playing the seemingly innocent Nintendo title “Nintendogs” when the horrific tragedy occurred.  The child, named Megan, was visiting a friend and was in the care of  Ms Melville.  Over to the reporters of the Daily Mail for this breaking news:

Megan, a pupil at St James’ Primary School, had woken up and was turning on the game station at around 10am on Sunday, September 19, while Saracen was asleep on a mattress in the living [room] of the house.

St James’ Primary School pupil Megan said: ‘When I woke up I turned on the Nintendo. It barked and Saracen dragged me off the couch by my foot. I was scared.’

When she realised that Megan was being attacked, Ms Melville started kicking him and her second pet dog, named Zena, also attacked Saracen in a bid to save the child.

Mrs Taylor, Grandmother of Megan, said one of Ms Melville’s daughters ran to get her as she only lives a minute up the road and then she and Megan’s 14-year-old sister Sophie ran to help.

‘When I saw her I went hysterical. She just had a dirty rag over her face. I just said ‘where’s her lip?’ It was horrible, the worse thing I have ever seen in my life,’ said Mrs Taylor.

Mrs Taylor is horrified that the game could make dogs react in such a horrific way.

‘I think this game should carry some kind of warning,’ she said.

‘People should be told not to play it when there are dogs in the room.  I blame the game for what happened to Megan. If they hadn’t been playing it I don’t think the dog would have gone for her.’

Time for a reality check. Let us ignore that any sane person would think “Hmm, perhaps playing a game featuring barking dogs in the vicinity of other dogs is perhaps a bad idea”, let us ignore the 580 words of the Daily Mail article including the headline, “Terrified schoolgirl, 9, has top lip ripped off by dog after it heard barking on her Nintendo DS” and let us ignore the massive picture of the Nintendogs title.

Instead let us focus on the last two sentences of the article.

Ms Melville was unavailable for comment, but it is understood that she told police that Megan may have kicked Saracen and that is why he attacked her. No one from Nintendo was available for comment.

Words fail me.
