Anti-gaming Times columnist gets 'Coopered' on Amazon

Giles Whittell didn't consult us before he bashed video games in a recent column in The Times of London, comparing them to "smack and teenage pregnancy." But, if he had, we probably could have warned him this was going to happen. Much like what befell Cooper Lawrence after the SeXbox nonsense, Whittell's book is getting lambasted in Amazon reviews.

Normally, we wouldn't be in favor of a mob mentality, but look at some of these reviews! "Going to Central Asia? That sounds a bit too much like a hobby to me. I would never dream of reading/doing something for fun, whats the point of doing something if it isnt improving yourself?" We also like, "Being told to read this book before passing judgement feels like being told to immerse myself in smack and teenage pregnancy." You know what that is? That's a confirmed burn.
