This opinion piece on CantonRep.com addresses the high pregnancy rate of students at Timken High School, and places blame squarely on everything except lack of access to birth control and decent sex education. These two things are not mentioned once in the entire article.

Video games, however, are.

Whose fault is it that more than 13 percent of Timken's girls are with child? Some would say fault-finding isn't a fruitful exercise, but in this case, it's critical. Suspects range from movies, TV and video games to lazy parents and lax discipline. Only one thing is sure: Schools don't impregnate children.

This is the first and last time games are mentioned, but that they're mentioned at all is frankly shocking.

Here we are, the gaming "community" as it were, desperately trying to get girls to play games, any games, and it turns out that Ohio teens are so far ahead of us that they've found a way to actually impregnate each other with them. Eliza Gauger
