Lower standards

Picked up a copy of the London Evening Standard the other day. Hadn't seen it for a while, and forgotten how an urban paper can have such suburban attitudes. I also noticed they had a entertainment section - "Staying In" - which highlighted the latest books, DVDs etc. Amazingly games were included too, but it was interesting to see the headings. They included "Must-see DVD", "On Radio" and "The CD to hear". And the the games one? "For the Games Addict". Yup, that's right, watching DVDs and listening to music is just something you do, but to play games you have to be an "addict". Sheesh. Maybe, I'm being over-sensitve, but this kind of thing does grate.
