Say hello to Pia Shandel. She hates video games. Jesse from I'm a Human Inbox caught her radio program in Vancouver right after Fatal1ty graced 60 Minutes in which she said gaming was "a waste of time for boys." Continuing, she likened it to "40 year-old men wearing green golfing pants." According to Jesse, the announcer was generally uninformed about gaming, but very opinionated about it.

Apparently, Pia was asking questions like "What do people get out of gaming?" and "What are they doing with their lives?" The caller Jesse got to hear was a mother who said her little boy plays video games, which she thought was a good thing. The child had ADHD (who doesn't?), and she felt that gaming thought him how to focus, learn skills and hand-eye coordination.

The radio announcer then asked the classy question of whether or not the mom lets her son play "the violent games with huge breasted women and AK-47s." The mother said she limits her son's gaming to 30 minutes a day and that he has to earn the time by doing his homework. He's also only allowed titles that are rated appropriately. Mom, nice pwnage!

So who is this Pia lady? According to her show's website, "Pia Shandel is one of Vancouver's most recongizable media personalities. Pia was the original morning host on CFUN when we changed to talk in 1996. Pia returns to CFUN after a stint in Television." That's a polite way of saying she's crawled back to radio after failing miserably in TV. Hey Pia, I've never seen your show, nor have I met you and am completely uninformed as to what type of person you are. But, in my opinion, you are a nitwit.

Pia's Show [CFUN] Thanks, Jesse!
