What does filmmaker and baseball cap connoisseur Michael Moore think about video game violence? Not much. George over at GamerAndy got a few seconds with the director (Bowling for Columbine, Roger and Me).

One of the biggest factors to arise in the post-Columbine hysteria was the violent video games panic. In Bowling for Columbine, you didn't speak about any of those notions.

There was nothing to say about it.

You didn't think that it was worth mentioning?

There wasn't a real issue there, that's just it. There's nothing to the idea at all, it's just panic. That whole angle is overblown.

Love or hate Moore's politics, the guy dead-on about gaming and violence.
