   I've gotten downright scared watching certain breeds of   
   parents/grandparents shop for their young'uns.  Not only   
   don't they know anything about what's in the video game   
   aisle, they're convinced that (because it takes batteries)   
   it's completely beyond their grasp.  They're eager to plunk   
   down whatever it takes to get their "video junk" so they   
   can get the hell out of the store.   
      
   Meanwhile, you just know these are the same parents that have   
   Jack Thompson's number on speed-dial.
