Penny-Arcade is currently doing a run of Comics poking fun at lawsuits like this...
I suggest you all give it a read. Its good times.

No, they arent breasts, they're personalities, because its ok to like a girl for her personalities

Heh, I knew it. What a "Jack"-ass
When Steven Seagal kills a ninja, he only takes its hide. When Chuck Norris kills a ninja, he uses every part.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

While not violence related, it fits the tone of the thread:

ABC intentionally left out cold, hard data that goes against using the DS to stalk children because it didn't fit the "tone" of the broadcast.
