Microsoft and Rock the Vote are teaming up in an effort to get more young people to vote through the magic of video game console-based paperwork. Microsoft says: “If Xbox Live were a state, it would rank as the country’s seventh largest, giving it approximately 20 electoral votes.” Funny, I guess any two people on Xbox Live have just about as much in common as the members of a state population do. It’s still a bizarre statement though, suggesting that gamers are so out of touch with “the real world” that they don’t even live there any more. This conjures up ideas of a hypothetical science-fiction tale where “virtual states” fight for rights and independence against the denizens of the real world…spooky.
