It reminds me of those horrible little comic books that get around that talk about people selling their soul to the devil for soda or something stupid like that. Anyway, if you're bored, check it out. Under the section marked children. He manages to not only offend gamers, but also all bisexual/gay/transgender in one fell swoop. It's worth a few laughs.

This line of argument has been around for a long time. What confuses me, though, is that he mentions "Latricia Pushing, founder of SADD (Sickened About Dungeons & Dragons)", and I can only assume he means Patricia Pulling, founder of BADD (Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons).

I continually wonder if roleplaying has *ever* driven *anyone* to suicide, satanism, drug abuse, homosexuality or insanity. Still, the same claims were leveled against rock and roll in its day....
