Yay, more controvery! From, you guess it, another politician. This time it’s Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’ turn on the soapbox. Apparently Sony’s PlayStation console is “poison” that will lead children down the capitalist “road to hell”.

In Chavez’ weekly radio-TV show “Alo Presidente”, he asked Venezuelan manufacturers to make “educational” toys and dolls in order to replace more capitalistic counterparts like the Barbie doll.

Chavez has already bashed Nintendo for promoting “selfishness, individualism and violence”, but decided to take on Sony as well.

“Those games they call ‘PlayStation’ are poison. Some games teach you to kill. They once put my face on a game, ‘you’ve got to find Chavez to kill him.’”

He went on to say that any game that “bomb cities or just throw bombs,” are sold by capitalist countries to sow violence so they can “later sell weapons”. The games also “promote the need for cigarettes, drugs and alcohol so they can sell them. That’s capitalism, the road to hell,” he added.

Wow… I love the bombastic and uninformed.
