Video Games Blamed for Decline In National Park Popularity

It seems video games are being blamed for everything these days. Video games are blamed for violence. Video games blamed for promoting sex and the drinking of "hot coffee". Now, in a study performed by the University of Illinois Video Games are being blamed for a decline in numbers attending national parks in the US.

"This is no smoking gun," Oliver Pergams said. "We're showing statistically that the rise in use of these various types of media...is so highly correlated with the decline in national park visits that there is likely to be some association." Pergams is the man who performed the study. Basically, to rephrase what he said, "People are using the media more and attending national parks less. We have no conclusive evidence to link either. It must be video games."
