I find him insane, but I guess he really isn't, at least according to his bribed shrink.

Though he is right about the selling to the kids thing. I wonder how he knew it was going to happen? If he set it up wouldn't that be entrapment? I couldn't say for sure. But anyone who would be influenced by a game like that., will be also influenced by the thigns he watches on tv. And the things he listens to on the radio. So how could you place the blame on only one industry? HOW about placing the blame on the parents for not teaching the kid what is real. .. what is fake.. and what to do and not do? It's the stupidist thing i have ever heard.
My guess would be that he has too much time on his hands like most lawyers, so he just sat around with a camera for 8 hours and realized nothing happened, so he told the kid he'd get $40 if he bought the game with it. :P

Right now that's all just pointless banter. He's trying to bring down a mountain with a metal spoon. By today's market and technology, he's probably insane. But by 20 years whereas virtual reality will ...Probably be prevelant, he may have more of an issue there.
