Eugene: Confessions of a Serial Killer

WASHINGTON — After a weeklong silence since the Connecticut school shootings, the National Rifle Association on Friday called for a program to arm and train guards in schools as the best way to protect children from gun violence. The group blamed video games, the news media and lax law enforcement – but not guns – for a recent rash of mass shootings.
So, how would I kill people with my video games? First, I would explain to them the rules of “Civilization” and once they are lulled into a coma, I could repeatedly stab them with the CD. It probably would take three months.
Actually, I believe my old table games might be deadlier. If I hone the edge of my Monopoly board, I could try using it like a Samurai sword. One paper cut on the jugular, and you could start adding up the body count. I admit: it is unlikely. No, the real lethality of Monopoly would be getting my victims to swallow the hotels and houses. Of course, I would have to coax them at gunpoint.
