The Intel Friday Night Game (planned for 05/25/2009) in Karlsruhe was cancelled
The cancellation was a result of the initiative and the clear attidute of the CDU (German Party) - Press Release of the CDU in Karlsruhe
5th June 2009 - Demonstration for youth culture with the
[Norman] Esport is not a crime
[Sign] Playing Video games kills
[Patrick] That's cool - that's why I love gamer
[croud] We're here, we're loud, because you steal us our games
[sign] Chess is genocide
[sign] book burning light
[sign] Do you want the total generation conflict?
[Norman] We want to enjoy esport, we want to perform our hobby - without being punished
[croud] who's not jumping is not a gamer
[Patrick] You have realized, that it is important not to hide behind our displays. You're going out to the streets, fighting for our right to play videogames
We have tho show our face, show who we are - we are gamer
Politicians have hounded against us - and we see which unprofessional imaginations theys have of computer, videogames and the internet
you can have such imaginations only if you have completely no idea of this subject
We are gamer, we don't hide and we don't want to be the scapegoat for things that go wrong in the society
We don't want the bomb of the generation conflict to be ticking any more, we want to introduce all people into our new multimedia-based world
Invite also visitors to your gaming events, so they can see which great eSport-events we organize
Do this so that we can say soon - Bomb has been defused
[Norman] I'm playing counterstrike for six years now - and I haven't killed anyone
My mom is also present
[Mom] Rostock greets Karlsruhe
[Norman] My Mom supports me during this demonstration
And my mom for sure doesn't think that I'm going on a killing spree
[Mom] That's not a speech to teachers or politicians - it's an appeal to the parents
Talk to your children, even when they're older than 5,6 or 7 years
O wish you a cool gamer party for tonight - or how you call that
(Get your Gameboy and play Tetris!)
[croud/norman] We are not spree killers
[croud] We are here - we are loud - because you steal us our games
[Justus] We have also invited the young socialist - is there someone of you here?
Where is your Flag?
Has someone started Caputure The Flag?
Ask the Young Christian Democrats if they have the flag
[Joerg Tauss - Member of the German Parliament - former socialist, now member of the Pirate Party] I've told this already in the parliament - I've played Counter Strike and not murdered anyone from another Party

Good luck and have fun with your hobby. Nobody should be excluded from the society, and minorities shouldn't be oppressed.
