Sorry for the sarcasm but this story about some Halo 3 disks being scratched just caught my attention. It was one of the lead stories on the Houston Chronicle’s Web site under “Entertainment.” Now, I realize this game is a big deal – well a really, really big deal – but seriously. Don’t people have anything better to consume their time and money with? And now there are disks that are scratched (but according to officials they still work fine) and the game is making even more news. All in moderation, right?
I read recently that one could argue that our society is more idolatrous than ancient cultures were – we worship TV, the Internet, iPods, iPhones and Halo 3. Oh, and don’t forget to complete your idolatry with the replica helmet worn by Master Chief. I gotta get me one of those!
