Of course he blames it on his entertainment competition. Can we say, "Ratings have been stagnating," Dr. Phil? Of course we can
At a time when the majority of Americans play some sort of digital games (computer, console, mobile, on-line, etc.), and the vast majority of college students do (especially students at technical schools), it's a very safe bet that the killer played at least one. However, the worst part about attitudes like Dr. Phil's is not just the stupidity of it (might as well blame it on the old scapegoats like jazz, dancing with women or, like Plato, poets) but that it detracts from analysis of the real causes, including upbringing, depression, anger management, ways of dealing with frustration, stress, moronic television pop psychologists and so on.
Well, you go Dr. Phil. Get that ratings bump however you can.

Now for my favorite statistic of the day. 83 percent of the people in US federal prisons are Christians. While around 10 percent of the US population are atheists, only .21 percent of those in prison are. Yep, one-fifth of one percent
