So it's really a talented young actress playing a character for a commercial for a band called The Bastard Fairies, but that doesn't diminish the truthiness of it. Blaming video games and music for societal problems is an easy cop-out and a tactic that shouldn't be worth the credibility it usually receives from society at large.
Unfortunately, we're all looking for easy targets. (Including some rather cheap shots at mainstream religion in this very commercial.) Admitting that society is fucked up because of other more complicated and less easily pinpointed factors just doesn't get you any airtime. The easy answer trumps the right one any day of the week.

I had to share these postcards that my brother brought back from San Francisco, California. The best part is that all of the images in this collection are WWII era government posters that have been "appropriately" updated for the twenty-first century.
Take a gander at the complete collection of Propaganda Remix here. Maybe you'll even decide to purchase a few and send them to your "patriotic" relatives and friends.
Remember -- Patriotism requires Blind Obedience.
