Curb implied video game violence with pink rooms and teddy bears

If video games in fact lead to violence as many assume, we've found an ingenious compromise: Paint players' rooms pink with teddy bear accents to calm possible turbulence. The AP reports: "Prisoners returning to a southwest Missouri county jail damaged in a failed breakout will find a new color scheme – pink with blue teddy bear accents. The Dallas County Detention Center is being repainted a soft shade of pink in an effort to better manage sometimes volatile detainees ... Its a calming thing; Teddy bears are soothing."

Pink is the new peacemaker. Here's looking at you pink DS and PS2.
