Anyone wanna go see Saw IV?

Here's an interesting story that correlates watching violent movies to actually REDUCING crime rates? This may just be a case of you can find numbers to prove anything you want, but it may also be a sign that I should go see more violent movies instead of "prawling" the streets every Friday night.

I find it interesting that this gentleman found that crime rates lowered on the weekends when a new violent movie came out. I have a feeling these are not correlated at all, yet makes an interesting case. I blame my "hobbies" on playing Grand Theft Auto for 8 hours a day in college, but it may because I didn't see enough violent movies.
