Venezuelan president: PlayStation is Poison

While US president Barrack Obama has been heard many times telling people to cut down on the games for more productive activity, another commander-in-chief takes a different angle at gaming. Much different. According to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, games lead players further down the “road to hell”, specifically attacking the PlayStation brand for being “poison.”

Oh cool, a Hidden Mickey!

The anti-game tirade was made during Chavez’s weekly radio show, where he also pointed out that games contribute to society’s ills. Specifically, he mentioned drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes, hence the “road to hell” comment. The Venezuelan president also voiced that he wanted his country to produce only educational games.
