Dear Darwin: I Read Your Book

Apparently Howard Stern believes that gamers are the pitfall of society. They are the soft underbelly and the degradation of further generations who would read instead of gaming.

Selective reporting to prove an overarching theme. Two people got sick at McDonalds? Let's declare the quarter pounder a public hazard!
