Norwegian mass murderer threatens hunger strike if PS2 not upgraded to PS3

[Generic Other]

This is the guy who really deserves to be in an American prison. WOW.

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik threatened to go on a hunger strike over "torture"-like prison conditions. Among his complaints? He wanted to upgrade consoles and "more adult games" he could choose himself, according to Agence France-Presse.

Breivik killed 77 people during a rampage in July of 2011, including bombings in Oslo and the shooting of youths at a summer camp. He is serving a 21-year sentence, but in November of last year he sent prison authorities a typed list of 12 demands. Some were broad, such as the right to communicate more freely with the outside world. But the list also included some very specific demands about video games. He wants an upgrade from Playstation 2 to a PlayStation 3, and more mature gaming options.

"Other inmates have access to adult games while I only have the right to play less interesting kids games," he wrote. "One example is 'Rayman Revolution,' a game aimed at three year olds." Rayman Revolution does appear to have received a 3+ rating from some European rating processes. However, that means the game is suitable for persons aged three and up, not just pre-schoolers. A search of ESRB ratings for Rayman games shows the series ranges from "E" for everyone to "E+10" for those ten and older.

Breivik reportedly sent another note near the end of January asserting that his conditions had not suitably improved.

2. I waited until a "reputable source" verified the story

so no one kicked my ass for posting drivel from trash sources. EuroNews? Ha! The propaganda arm of the European Commission? Merde!!!

You dare to compare the Washington Post source to that trashy source?

4. Just sits back in his cushy cell...

No remorse, no sense of decency, and no class.

Meanwhile kids are going to brutal state prisons for smoking some weed.
