Look at the all-time best selling video games in Canada: Grand Theft Auto 4, Halo 2, Halo 3, ... all extremely violent games.

Halo was a great sire by the way. Since it's probably the most popular of the extremely violent video games ... and it is the name of a horse who sired two Kentucky Derby winners ... maybe Hovdey has a new idea for his next horse racing column.

Because I'm an Old, I remember when Dungeons & Dragons was clearly, obviously, driving kids to suicide and Satanism. 60 Minutes even did a piece on it, and, because it was the 1980s, that piece was not 20 minutes of Ed Bradley laughing his head off. Because back then it was understood that there is nothing like a 20-sided die to drive a child to the DARK SIDE. Really, they should have been banned.

If I ever own a race horse I'll name him Twenty Sided Die. I'm sure he'll inspire mass mayhem and eeeeeeevil.
