**Update** Boy DID NOT strangle sister over Bioshock |
Ó
More fire has been added to the issue of video games influencing gamers' behavior. A recent report from KCTV tells of a Kansas teenager who strangled his little sister after she interrupted him while he was playing Bioshock (Xbox 360 and PC).The teenager, Sean Conner, told KCTV the following: "I get really into my games and when BritÂ’ came over to me to watch TV I forgot I was in a game and accidentally strangled her."
Conner's parents admitted that they felt that their son's behavior was influenced by Bioshock's gameplay. They further stated that they were not to blame as their son was old enough to purchase the game by himself.
Anti-violent video game advocate Jack Thompson also released a statement regarding the incident, saying that "Justice will be served to the bastards that caused this crime."
Update: Video game news site Destructoid has received word from KCTV that this story is, in fact, not true. The Jack Thompson statement, however, has yet to be officially debunked as fiction.

Jack Thompson payed him to do it lol
Finding excuses to be violent. No nomal person thinks they are in a game for real.
"their son was old enough to purchase the game by himself". So.... "the bastards that caused this crime." That would be the 17+ year old that strangled his sister. What a piece of crap! I like how the parents claim no responsibility for raising a POS son that would do such a thing to a girl/woman. That entire household should be ashamed of themselves!!!
i would just like to say that i have played video games for about the last 20 years now, since i was probably four, and video games havent killed me yet....or anyone i know for that much this is a joke.......i hate that the boy strangled the his sister, but how can you seriously blame the game? i have played it and didnt strangle anyone while playing... the kid obvioulsy had some serious issues before playing any video games....GAMES DONT KILL PEOPLE
Conner's parents admitted that they felt that their son's behavior was influenced by Bioshock's gameplay. They further stated that they were not to blame as their son was old enough to purchase the game by himself. They are not to blame because they realised the game influenced their (retarded) son and did nothing?????? What???? Wait.... WHAT????????????
The article states that the boy almost strangled his sister.. She is alive. Not that makes his actions any better or more excusable. The kid should be strapped to a bed in a mental ward obviously. But do not get confused, this was assault not murder.
Damn media and their lies.... Well I'm happy this is not true in the end.
Yup, it said nothing about murder. However, now the article is bogus. It never happened. LAME!!!!!!!
jack thompson enjoys being penetrated analy
but then I saw it is now false. Such a lame ass article!
I bet they made that story up to see if he would make him self look like an ass. Also, no one can be that into a game, not even people who are like super addicted to games.
Jack Thompson shoulda seen the time I was playing Dragonball Z budokai , then when my sister came in and annoyed me I Kamehameha'd her through the window, you know that point where for a few seconds after you stop playing a game where everything happens in Real life like it would in the game? OH wait , thats Bs , like the crap jack thompsons trying to shove on everyone >.>
C'mon guys. Sean Conner = John Conner = Classic Terminator 2 gag, and it took us this long to see through it? Jack Thompson probably gave someone a blowjob to start this rumor -_-
