Speaking at some British award ceremony, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher decided to flap his gums and try to sound smart by linking video games to the recent spree of stabbings in the United Kingdom. There’s only one problem: He’s Noel fucking Gallagher.

[It is a] pity scumbags are taking over our streets. In my day, status was trying to be somebody, do you know what I mean, not trying to kill somebody?

I was up in Liverpool for a week a couple of weeks ago and even on the news there [knife crime leads] every single night. I don’t even know what [David] Cameron or [Prime Minister] Gordon Brown are going to do about it…

People say it’s through violent video games and I guess that’s got something to do with it. If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk [pot, weed, grass] and they come so desensitised to crime because they’re playing these video games, it’s really, really scary.

Noel, while I’m glad to see that you’re showing an interest in the safety of your fellow countrymen, you haven’t been sober since 1997. But hey, at least he didn’t wish for any game designers to catch AIDS and die, so I guess that’s an improvement.
