Since wraggster usually posts this kind of off topic news I decided i would just put it in submit news and let it be moved wherever.

Steven Johnson, Authoer of Everything Bad Is Good for You appeared on the North American comedy "Fake News" show that is the "Colbert Report" (silent "T's") to breifly discuss a few video game related things. It seems while everyone is trying to convice parents all video games are a waste of time, and thus making kids dumber, Mr. Johnson pointed out that many games are actually making kids smarter. He used Civillization IV, one of last years most poplare games, as an example saying that kids are able to create civillizations, managing economy and what not.

I will post a link to a movie of the interview tomarrow, or you can wait and see it on your own at www.comedycentral.com

The Colbert Report is awesome. He is a last bastion of hope in a degenerating society and failing government. Thank god for political satire.
