Onion Believes in our Warped Children

By Mark on February 26th, 2009

The other day I posted a blog about a study that linked violent video games to apathetic reactions to intense physical situations. Well, The Onion News Network must have been listening, because they have countered with the bold assertion that our overstimulated youth will be MORE prepared to deal with the most intense situation of all: The inevitable apocalypse.

The Onion's humor has always been firmly rooted in reality, and this gem is no different. That, and if the future turns out anything like Ender's Game, this parody video may actually become prophecy. Wouldn't that be some shit?!
