This is hilarious.

I kind of hope they realize the fumes are toxic too late and start choking a bit.

You have to buy the game to burn it so the publisher wins.

Sad story, a school I used to go to actually burned books like Harry Potter because they thought they were evil.

I didn't go to that school for long. Thankfully my parents didn't know about it at first, and when they found out, instantly decided the school was crazy.

I think we should get rid of water and air because every single bad person in history breathed air and drank water so I think those things might make people want to do bad things.

Depends on what games they burned to see if I would care or not. Now, if it was any actual good games I may have to get my Buster Sword out.

Except they are not buying the games, they are disposing of ones that were already bought by encouraging people to turn in their games and be given a pat on the back for their good deed.

Didn't say that. I just said you have to buy a game to burn it. At some point someone bought a game whether they are buying it too burn it or they are burning someone's already purchased game, they couldn't have acquired them without paying for them, thus the publisher still wins. The government isn't going to do anything about video games and their demonstration isn't going to encourage enough people to do this for it too matter. The Publisher got payed off the initial purchase and they have nothing to fear of a boycott or repercussions. Thus...Publisher wins. I never understood burning something because you have an issue with it because you payed for it.

I hope they don't burn any Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy or Assassin's Creed games. Or else head will roll.

Guys, I think we're all ignoring the real problem here... the best way to end violence isn't to burn the games themselves, its to burn the people who MAKE the games! Attack evil at its source. This is clearly the ethical solution... think of all the childhood innocence we'll be protecting once these video games, or as I like to call them "Satan Discs," can no longer be produced.
