President: Playstation is poison and leads to hell

[Zeus]

The President of Venezuela has branded the Playstation as poison. But he did not stop there, he also claimed that the system leads children down the 'road to hell'. Cruel worlds indeed.

<blockquote>Sony's PlayStation video game console is "poison" and leads children down the capitalist "road to hell," Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said.

Chavez, in his weekly radio-TV show "Alo Presidente," called on Venezuelan manufacturers to make "educational" toys and dolls with indigenous peoples' features to replace capitalistic counterparts like the Barbie doll that "have nothing to do with our culture."

In expanding on his dislike of western toys and games -- he already slammed Nintendo for promoting "selfishness, individualism and violence," Chavez Sunday took on the world's top selling game console, Sony's PlayStation.</blockquote>

This reminds me how my mother still calls any console "NINTENDO" ("do you still play your NINTENDO!!"...even if my first was an "atari 2600" good old times)

I guess for chavez any game is a grand theft auto...somehow people doesnt get yet that GTA is about stealing cars , killing people and getting stars, its not a "political conspiracy learning program" or a "How to become a terrorist/narc/millionaire and get away whit it".

In Chavez's slamming of Nintendo, since when is individualism a bad thing? Also how is Nintendo selfish when their consoles enable 4+ players simultaneously on many games? Violence? That's what the ESRB is for, it's their for a reason. Chavez isn't firing on all cylinders.
