Are video games art? Thank you, please stop asking. Should the question of "are video games art" be debated on Fox News by shiny middle-aged white dudes hollering confusedly about "taxpayer money?" Now there's a proposition to make you wish that whole Rapture thing had panned out.
But Modern Warfare 2 is the game they've got footage of, so a debate about President Obama's use of your tax dollars ensues between Facts (represented by geek advocate Brian Ambrozy) and Yelling (professional shouter Neal Asbury). As an Americaphile living in New Zealand (not to mention writing for a website about video games), I've got no skin in the "Federal funding" game – but what do you think? Ignoring Fox News' idiocy, should the NEA fund games? Does this all just give you a headache?
