Heinz --
Here's one experts article on media violence and it's effects on kids:

Dr. Neil Malamuth (we call him Malamouth) has been retained by the prosecution in our case to testify as to the "harm to society" angle, much like Gem and Heinz are insinuating here. Here is an article co-written by Dr. Malamuth that contradicts his own upcoming testimony:
Repeated Exposure to Violent and Nonviolent Pornography: Likelihood of Raping Ratings and Laboratory Aggression Against Women,
Neil M. Malamuth and Joseph Ceniti. In Aggressive Behavior, 12, 129-137. 1986.
"With respect to exposure effects, the results did not reveal that repeated exposure to violent or nonviolent pornography had any significant effect on laboratory aggression against women. These findings appear to be inconsistent with previous data showing that exposure to violent pornography may increase males' laboratory aggression toward women (e.g., Donnerstein, 1980a,b; 1984; Donnerstein and Berkowitz, 1981; Malamuth, 1978). The most apparent explanation for this discrepancy is that earlier investigations examined immediate effects (i.e., in same session that exposures were presented) whereas the present experiment tested for relatively long-term effects. It may be that exposure to violent pornography might have an immediate impact on aggressive behavior against women but this effect may dissipate quickly over time."
The asshole just contradicted himself. Here is the link to their entire study:

I have many more such links to studies and official documents in our defense package. It take time to dig them out though. Now Hienz old boy, about your "Lier" comments....
Here's another example:
Sexuality on the Internet: From Sexual Exploration to Pathological Expression, Alvin Cooper, Coralie R. Scherer, Sylvain C. Boies, and Barry L. Gordon, American Psychological Association Journal, April 1999.
"In the media's portrayal-and therefore the public's perception-the sexual dimension of the Internet is likened to the sirens of mythology, an irresistible and corrupting force which lures "netizens" to the rocks. These are compelling images, but alas, like the sirens themselves, they are more fantasy than reality. Instead, this study found, and clinicians need to be aware, that most persons (92%) who go on-line for sexual pursuits do not spend excessive amounts of time at it and report very little interference in their lives."
Here's another one:
Sexually Explicit and Violent Media Material: research and policy implications, Compiled and written by Paul Wilson and Stephen Nugent. Trends & Issues in Criminal Justice No.9, Australian Institute of Criminology, December 1987
"A Joint Select committee of the Federal Parliament, under the chairmanship of Dr Richard Klugman, currently is considering the effects of video material upon Australian society. The Committee received a submission from the Australian Institute of Criminology reviewing the current status of international research on the impact of sexually explicit and violent behaviour.
The Institute submission contends that research presents some dilemmas for policy makers. On the one hand, there appears to be no sustainable research evidence of a causative link between media violence and violent criminal events. More particularly, a direct association between exposure to sexually violent media material and sexually aggressive behaviour has yet to be proven."
Want more? I got more. Anytime Heinz. Any fucking time.
