I just figured out why Sen. Hillary Clinton doesn't like video games: she's afraid it will lead to the Borgitization of the nation's children.
Speaking to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Clinton warned that advertisers are already using video games and the Internet to get at kids, and soon they might start implanting computer chips in their heads.

"At the rate that technology is advancing, people will be implanting chips in our children to advertise directly into their brains and tell them what kind of products to buy," Clinton said at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
...
The New York Democrat said the country was performing a "massive experiment" on kids who average more than six hours a day with media and advertising, soaking it up through TV, computers, games and iPods. She said the fastest growing advertising market is the 6- and under set, and that children's health is already being hurt by products like Camel's candy-flavored cigarettes and junk food sold with tips for video games - used to sell more junk food.

She totally needs to get that Internet-is-a-series-of-tubes guy on her ticket when she runs for President.
