Laughable article in the Daily Heil

Psychology Professor Craig Jackson on media violence - writing in the Daily Heil

His article includes this little gem:
One of the most infamous examples was the torture and murder of James Bulger in 1993. For his killers, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, were said to be enthusiasts of the macabre horror film Child’s Play 3 about the murderous doll Chucky who comes to life.
What he fails to mention, of course, is that there is no evidence that Venables and Thompson ever saw Child's Play 3; that this was just an unsubstantiated claim made by the sensationalist gutter press such as the very newspaper his article appears in.

I hope Martin Barker chimes in and tears this guy a new one...
