Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and Big Bend. National Public Radio, where I get all my gaming news, did a piece on how video games are hurting America's national parks. No, really. NPR's website has a summary of the broadcast:
A new study shows that there has been a sharp decline in the percentage of Americans visiting national parks. The authors aren't sure what's causing it, but it may be related to the increasing use of video games.
Some expert named Oliver Pergrams says the decline of national park visitors is due to high gas prices, extreme sports and video games. He then says video games are linked to obesity. And anyone that's not smart enough to figure out that it's the sitting-on-your-ass-for-hours-on-end part and not video games that make people tubby, shouldn't be on air. Nice one, NPR. Looking forward to next week's program blaming video games for lung cancer and herpes.
