MSNBC needs get its fact straight: Super Columbine Massacre RPG

I flipped to MSNBC this morning and they were interviewing some guy about the Montreal shootings. They were talking about his blog, and brought how he enjoyed playing a video game reported as "Columbine Massacre" and whether the video game industry needs to take more responsibility since they "made" a game called Columbine Massacre. I could not believe that fact and looked it up.

What I got was this, Super Columbine Massacre RPG, not made by EA or Rockstar, but by some kid, with RPGMaker (a program that lets you make your own RPGs). I could care less about the intentions of this kid for creating the game. I am more upset by MSNBC for pinning responsibility for these kinds of acts of violence on the gaming industry. Poor journalism.
