Art... the copycat effect seems to contradict what most people are saying about videogames and kids (see the thread somewhere here on TFP)...
The link between violence and the violence we see on TV and video games, I would suggest, is not a one to one causal relationship but rather a big part of the problem. A Madge would say, "You're soaking in it."
It isn't just the violence, it is everything else, the ads, the news, etc. The general media cocophony from which we are supposed to derive meaning... A meaning that is often subtly imposed on our subconsciousness where it mashes up against other messages...
