Just to give you a little picture of how certain things are in South America, a Brazilian federal judge has “banned” two very popular video games (Counter-strike and EverQuest) because he is apparently sure that they provoke violence. Apparently moments after the ban came into place thousands of teenagers descended from the favelas and gave up their weapons (not!). Of course drugs, poverty and corruption don’t “provoke” violence. I guess it’s a bit more difficult to enforce a ban against them
