# Who's the chap in front?
I like his hat

TJ: Is Keith Vaz anyone's MP?
I've just sent him an email regarding his comments today about MW2 and asking how he's managed to play it before it's released. Wonder if I'll get a reply?

# I remember the film Gorky Park
I watched it aged about 12 cos I heard Alexei Sayle was in it.

It was not what I was expecting, and I was very bored

# He's probably seen the videos on YouTube
What were his comments?

"No russian" really shouldn't be played by kids, so if he can actually get a campaign against cretinous parents giving the game to under 18s then great.

# I quote...
'I am absolutely shocked by the level of violence in this game and am particularly concerned about how realistic the game itself looks.'

I assume he's just remaring on the trailers and what he has read, and not actually played it.
Which is like Mary Whitehouse's old maxim of "I don't need to see it to know it's disgusting"

EDIT: a campaign like that would indeed be great. And I would support that. But I fear his agenda is more to do with not understanding the games industry, and assuming only kids play video games. In which case he should keep his trap shut.

# Based on the clips being sent around and quickly removed by Activision
its far more likely its the airport level. He probably read Charlie Brooker's criticism of it and claimed that as his own opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHHX9mPn77c I wouldn't want to play that, and I draw people being cut in half!
