Salah Abdel Sadeq, head of the State Information Service, has blamed the spread of violence and extremism in the Arab world on Tom & Jerry cartoons and video games.
In a speech at the conference, “Media and Culture of Violence" at Cairo University's Mass Communication Faculty on Tuesday, he explained that the generations-old American cartoon condones violence, among other bad habits, for viewers. People — particularly young men — now spend long hours playing video games too, he continued. They get enjoyment from killing and shedding blood while playing. So when these young gamers are faced with social pressures in the real world, they resort to violence because it has become normalized for them as a response.

Tom and Jerry, eh? At least they are not trying to pin it solely on Grand Theft Auto V or emails from Benghazi.
