Proving again that you can't fix stupid, especially in the media

Watch Dogs video game will inspire more road sign hacks, warns cyber alert | Computerworld Blogs.

"Shortly after the game was released, conservative TV and radio host Glenn Beck announced that Watch Dogs teaches you to hack".

I wonder if he realizes it takes a bit more effort than pointing your phone at a streetlight and pressing the H key...

*Groan*. I remember when 9/11 happened, one of the first thoughts I had was "How long will it be until they blame Flight Simulator for this?"

Glenn Beck couldn't hack a wet spaghetti noodle with a sharp knife. Wow, that was the best I could come up with?

Glenn Beck and crazy talk go hand-in-hand. Nothing new here.

What a fu€!ing moron. I'm surprised Glenn lonesome roads Beck is still on the air....Guess being ousted from Faux News a few years ago wasn't enough to make him disappear.

Just by citing the source as Glenn Beck you automatically make your argument invalid.

I didn't say you were. I know you were posting this in disbelief that anyone would think Watch Dogs teaches hacking. I was talking about anyone in general citing Glenn Beck as a credible source.

So hacking is the problem, not the fact that the game is a criticism of how everything in known reality will be "plugged in" in the upcoming decades.
