BRKG: Russian TV blames airport bombing on "Call of Duty"
'The bloody scenes of the Moscow attack are reminiscent of what can be seen in a year-old computer game, the scenario of which controversially involves a character who is urged to kill civilians in an imaginary Russian airport,' says the website of television channel Russia Today.
'This is the way entertainment mirrors reality and reality mirrors entertainment, and there are people influenced by all this, even though the manufacturers always deny having any influence on anyone,' claims media critic Danny Schechter.

'I think those who have been radicalized already – that is supposed in this case jihadists, Al-Qaeda or other kind – they look at the games and say these games will serve them to train,' he added.

As anyone that's played the infamous 'No Russian' level of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (i.e. just about every games player in the Western world) will know it involves a highly unlikely gun attack by a small group of Russian ultranationalists - rather than the bomb attack that seems to have caused the Domodedovo International Airport tragedy.

Goodbye, halcyon days...

 There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

You know, I thought the exact same thing when I first heard of the bombing at the Russian air port. But I doubt anyone would be that extreme to follow a video game and blow themselves up, was probably just a random lunatic.

Maybe so considering the police in Russia play first person shooters in the cop cars.
