quick summary

-real psychiatrist
-wrote this piece for Fox News (what a surprise)
-Sincerely believes sex scenes in video games have led to an increase of rapes.
A Dumbass Psychiatrist wrote:"The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games."

A quick google suggests that rape counts are pretty steady and aren't on the rise.

This reminds me when an actual professor at my university, actually tried to tell me that an increase in violence was due to prayer being taken out of school.

any professor who tries to put their idiocy into a learning environment should be fired.

Epic

An artist's recreation of a scene from controversial video game Bulletstorm, which takes violence, vulgar language and sexual innuendos to a new level.

I'm not exactly sure why "Epic" is the description of that picture. Also wtf did they have an artist render a scene from a game that supports screencaps? Or do you need some kind of release to use images of actual gameplay? Because I've seen gameplay video used all the time in news stories. Maybe they felt that the actual footage was just too much for their readers sensibilities.
