McCain vs. Dungeons & Dragons II

jeffrubinjeffrubin:

John McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb seems to have a weird problem with Dungeons & Dragons.

Regular JeffRubinJeffRubin readers already know that Goldfarb compared the New York Times editors to a blogger, “sitting at home in his mother’s basement and ranting into the ether between games of Dungeons & Dragons.” It was an unusual quote for sure, but if you want to paint bloggers as antisocial it at least sorta makes sense to invoke one of the nerdiest things of all-time.

Actually, it’s true, there is a lot of D&D played here. But they’re totally out of touch and still playing with the v.3.5 ruleset.

Child Pornography

Remember when Pete Townshend was briefly arrested because he had been looking at all kinds of child porn and get was released after saying he was researching a book? Whatever happened to that book?

I looked it up… it’s been abandoned, but it’s good to know the “I’m writing a book” excuse is a valid defense.

If you’ll excuse me, I have some things to do, I’m writing a book on downloading movies.
