GU Comics talks papal criticism of games

Game Politics notes a recent comic made by Woody Hearn which takes a somewhat comedic response to Pope Benedict XVI‘s criticism of games.

Previously, the Pope talked about different forms of media in the annual Communications Day address, with some attention placed upon video games:

Any trend to produce programs and products – including animated movies and video games – which in the name of entertainment exalt violence and portray anti-social behaviour or the trivialization of human sexuality is a perversion, all the more repulsive when these programs are directed at children and adolescents.

Hearn’s response, which echoes many sentiments of the pro-gaming side of the fence, can be seen on your right.

Hearn also made a forum post regarding his creation of the comic. It has, however, been closed to updates, due to increasing animosity amongst readers towards the comic’s creator and to one another. The text from the forums can still be viewed though, so feel free to visit it as well.
