Confirmed: Tetris transforms gamers into vandals

In his photo of aggressive renovations suffered by a poor building at the rock-tossing hands of vandals, Flickr user dailysnap underlines the frightening effects of unchecked Tetris exposure. Indeed, beneath the pleasantly plummeting blocks lies a slowly interlocking visage of post-apocalyptic anarchy, with the monstrous weight of each L-piece crushing the very concept of order and discipline in today's fragile youth.

Rescue a window today and stop the detritus of Tetris.

hahaha, fragile youth or not, you've got to admit, the kids knocking out those windows must have really good aim to only knock out the correct windows...

while it may be vandalism and not photoshop it certinally wasen't due to 'rock-tossing hands'

all of the glass is removed in all but one of the holes.

he does provide the film to show it's real (seems like that would be hard to manipulate).

Rij: Jan 27th 2007; 10:19PM

I love Tetris. I await the day of the blocks of doom, falling from the sky, so I can put my block stacking skills to use and save the city from certain destruction with four-rows-in-a-row mastery. Then the world will bow down to me and call me master, either that or they'll put me in a white jacket in a padded room...
