At least this makes more sense than, “the darn video games made my boy kill” protests. Saying that video games or other media cause people to commit violence is simply not supportable. All of the studies that I’ve seen merely correlate violent media with acts of violence (and they don’t even do this well). All that says is that people who are violent like violent media. Anyone with an ounce of research savvy can tell you that this means very little. Correlation and causation are very different, with the latter being very difficult to substantiate. So, before you start bad mouthing the media, it might be a good idea to think about parenting, genetics, or other explanations that also correlate with violent behavior. Be careful of the band wagon.

Come on! This is just too cool. I’ve heard rumblings of this experiments for a while, but this is the first article that I’ve seen with a good explanation for what’s going on. I have humble dreams of being teleported from Seoul to Chicago for birthday parties and anniversaries. This would give a new meaning to weekend getaways!
