Kansas teenager strangles little sister as she interrupted his BioShock game

[Yeloazndevil]

According to KCTV, a Kansas teenager strangled his little sister after she interrupted him while he was playing BioShock. The teenager reportedly strangled his sister 'accidentally' after feeling as if he really was in the game. The boy's parents felt that the FPS title had influenced his behaviour but implied that 2K Games are not to blame as the boy was old enough to purchase the game himself. As you'd expect, Jack Thompson has stated that "Justice will be served to the bastards that caused this crime." *UPDATED* 2K Games has got in touch to let us know that a journalist called up the KCTV news desk who relayed that there was NO such story in circulation and internet sources have just made it up.

Videogames are often criticised for negatively influencing the behaviour of their players, and the latest report from KCTV, telling the story of a Kansas teenager who strangled his little sister after she interrupted him while he was playing 2K Games' Xbox 360 masterpiece, Bioshock, isn’t going to help the cause.

“I get really into my games and when Brit’ came over to me to watch TV I forgot I was in a game and accidentally strangled her,” Sean Conner told KCTV yesterday.

The boy's parents admitted that they felt that the futuristic first-person shooter (which includes gameplay where mutated little girls are killed to gain powerups) had influenced his behaviour, but that they were not to blame because he was old enough to purchase it himself.

Violent videogame-hating attorney Jack Thompson has since released an ominous statement in which he says that “Justice will be served to the bastards that caused this crime.”

O RLY? So Jack Thompson's new skill is story making? Wow... when will his first book come out?

[emwearz]

haha, I played Rocky Legends, I don't go around punching black people in the face, or massive russians. I hate when people blame anything on games or movies, how much crap is it that he strangled her feeling that he was in the game, how does moving analog sticks and pushing buttons make you feel like you need to strangle your little sister, what a bunch of crap.

I hope his parents belted the crap out of him for touching his little sister.

If one more teenager dies/kills and they blame it on a game, Im gonna publicy play Barbie riding school, and then kill 13 people with a machete, just to prove them wrong, that games do not influence people to that degree >_<

thompson is going to be jumping all over this one. that of course if he isnt disbarred first for that whole gay porn stunt he pulled.

[Hard core Rikki]

It could've been worse
What would one have done if Halo 3 was interrupted, oh sacrilege !!
Or GTA

[galson]

I usually kill when somebody interrupts me playing 'Kao The Kangaroo' or 'Dora The Explorer'

[The Magic Hobo]

Dora the explorer, thats enough to make anyone kill, how I would love to butt f*** that little monkey with a cattle rod

[GamjaPotato]

I sure as heck don't feel like running over people or knifing them from behind after playing San Andreas. People will do anything to blame video games for real world violence. I doubt people in prison were influenced by video games.

Halo 3 made me put on a metal suit and beat my sister to a pulp because I thought she was a covenant... oh well.

Oh, and.

Pac-Man is the reason why teenagers started eating pill in dark rooms while listening to bad techno music, IE, Raving.

Le old. New excuse plzktnx.

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

Lol. Funny story.

The little ***** probably deserved it. Everyone knows not to mess with a dude and his video games. That's pretty much common knowledge. I know that I'd choke a ***** for interupting my Wii sessions. The girl is lucky that she isn't dead. Did you know that the real reason O.J. killed his wife was because the ***** came in and started complaining about him leaving the toilet seat up and eating all of the fried chicken when he was playing Mortal Kombat? They'll never tell you the truth on the media but that's how it really went down. She had it coming to her. I'd do the same in that situation.

[Thanakil]

You know, we totally should enter Jack Thompsons house screaming ''WAHOO'' in a mario voice and then make him think we're here to kill him.

He'd probably end up screaming the next day that he was right all along, and maybe he'd finally ends up into a asylum... I mean, a real asylum, not the governement, you know.
