This is a little late, but John Davison's account of being ambushed on Donny Deutsch's show is getting a lot of attention over at 1up.com. While the invitation was a set-up, John should have probably been a little more prepared to deal with something like this given the recent hysteria on Nancy Grace's show over 25 to Life. To be clear: I am not defending my industry for making poorly conceived and/or tasteless games, but the media and the general public need to understand two crucial points: 1) most game players are adult males, not children, and 2) what motivates people to commit violent acts is far more complex than people seem to want to believe.
