Jeremy Clarkson, mostly known for being one of the hosts on the insanely popular motoring show, Top Gear, defended games like GTA IV this week.

"This week the latest version of videogame Grand Theft Auto hit the shelves -- and pretty soon it will be cited as the reason why people feel compelled to lock their children in cellars, why Israel cannot find peace with the Palestinians and why everyone in Britain has been stabbed."

Hmmm, I played an earlier version of the game and must say that at no point did I feel the need to go outside and chop off a prostitute's head.

In fact, as is the case with most videogames, I hadn't a clue what was going on. I sat there, frantically stabbing at all the buttons, until a message on the screen told me the game was over.

It was annoying. Not dangerous."

Clarkson is infact a gamer, as shown in the Top Gear episode where he tried to beat his virtual lap times in real life.

Now, if we could only find a way to shut up Jack Thompson and his idiot followers...
