AFGHANISTAN — A new study has found more than 150,000 shooting deaths, stabbings, and bombings in the Middle East can be directly attributed to violent video games, Duffel Blog has learned.

The study makes a number of stunning revelations, to include the claim that "hyper-realism" displayed in modern, violent video games has contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere, to include American troops, civilians, members of at least nine terrorist groups, and anywhere from one to five puppies.

The study, commissioned by the nonpartisan group Definitely Not The NRA (DNTNRA), was conducted over "at least ten to fifteen minutes of looking at YouTube compilation videos," among more extended research in the Library of Infowars.

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
