Scrabble turns Violent

The news is always talking about how violent video games make people more aggressive and more likely to commit violence. In Louisiana, it's even illegal to sell a violent video game to someone under 18. After all, many video games out there promote aggressive behavior, similar to a Wookiee's BERSERKER RAGE.

Recently it appears that a nice, quiet game of Scrabble turned violent:

The court was told Mr Tahau had visited a friend on August 25 last year and they settled in for a night of scrabble.

In short, the game ended up with one of the players being bashed with a baseball bat and stabbed several times in the back. The full story is here. The next time you go to buy a copy of Scrabble, don't be surprised if you're asked to show ID.
