Incredible video here of a segment from the so-bad-it's-good Tyra Banks talk show. Watch as a young man chooses his young bride and infant daughter over his World of Warcraft account. Good choice, dude!
What's so amazing is that there is no talk of moderation. Gee, maybe 40 hours a week is not what a young father should be spending with ANY activity, much less an evil video game? But games are so stigmatized, it's time to shred the CDs! Take that, video games!
(Of course, they should have had the poor guy ceremoniously uninstall the game from his hard drive instead of shred the discs. But that wouldn't have been good TV, now would it?)
In my favorite episode of Tyra's show, she takes some people who have irrational phobias (clowns, ovens, styrofoam) and makes them face their fears in the most seriously straightfaced manner possible. When clowns arrive to prance around the stage to the tune of scary, scary music, I nearly fell out of my chair. Now THAT'S good TV.

ROFL the funny thing about this is that Sean is in our guild and he still is playing he just leveled his Blood Elf Pally up to lvl 60 last night Grats sean. Guess you told that fat cunt whats up!
Oh snap! Big surprise. Three minutes on the Tyra show didn't undo a year of addiction to WoW? And I'm SURE WoW is the reason they have such a terrible relationship. And those people that post comments are mean!
That post makes me laugh out loud and shake my head in disgust at the same time. But mostly laugh out loud.
