Another Video Game Blamed In Car Crash

At least Take-Two will be glad to see the finger's not being pointed at them, for once: Toronto police are alleging that two 18-year-olds were driven to take up a street race that ended up with the death of a cab driver by the car-racing game Need for Speed. The real culprit here is the drivers' stupidity -- but since a copy of the game was "found on the front seat" of one of their cars, that's getting the attention, even though the cops admit it's not "solely" to blame. Judging by the state of the cars, it's hard to imagine much of anything being found on the front seats, but in any case, the mere presence of the game is being blamed, before police even know if the guys ever played it. Since it was in the front seat, maybe the game was actually driving and this time could be blamed for the accident, but somehow that seems unlikely. Put the blame and the reponsibility where it belongs: on the idiots behind the wheels of the cars.
