WoW in the bookstore outrages blogger

A blogger who apparently was visiting the bookstore of his University found to his utter dismay a copy of Blizzard's  Worlds of Warcraft on display at the shelves.

In a sarcastic tone, the blogger implied his disbelief at how the University and its bookstore can allow such a thing to happen. He said the University found a great way to bolster focus on academics and went on to wonder if crack pipes are far along after video games.

The blog post was met with similarly sarcastic and comical comments. The blog may have been a little purist, and we don't think WoW at a bookstore equates to sacrilege. If bookstores can sell anything from movies to Playboy back-issues, they sure as hell can sell games. WoW may be addictive, but at the end of the day, it's an individual call if you'll lose academic focus or not.
