Farmville killed my baby!

[Michael Swayne]

Well, not my baby (I don't have children), but a 3-month-old kid is dead because of it.

Alexandra V. Tobias is awaiting trial after pleading guilty to shaking her 3-month-old son to death. Can you believe that the Florida woman committed this senseless act of violence because her infant's cries were distracting her while she was playing Farmville on Facebook? How could this happen?

Now, I have heard of stories where people go on shooting rampages because a gamer wanted to try out his skills in real life or to see if it was as much fun to shoot real people as it was in a game. In fact, my parents didn't like me playing so many video games for fear I would turn into one of those people. But this story turns my stomach.

Crazy bitch.

Near identical scene happened few years ago, although instead of Farmville it was WoW. As for those maniacs who went on killing spree, apparently due to video games, I bet they were crazy to begin with, then again it's easier to blame video games.

in before the media blames the videogames (LIKE FARMVILLE LOL) causing the violence and not the crazy mental anomalies that that woman has.
