Mario Kart should be rated 18

Mario is a menace and Mario Kart should be limited to adults, says sarcastic Brummy.

Following an opinion piece in UK tabloid the Metro, which argued that video games were not the sole cause of violent crime, Matthew Higgins from Birmingham replied in a cutting (yet sarcastic) letter:

"I disagree with your correspondents who argue that computer games are not the sole cause of today's violence problems.

"Just the other day, after playing Mario Kart, I bought some bananas and while driving home I started to throw the skins at passing cars in an attempt to make them spin out of control.

"I can't help but think that had Mario Kart been awarded an 18 certificate, I may have thought twice before behaving in such an immature and dangerous manner."

Har har. Mario is a menace and I'm sure Keith Vaz would agree.
