Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, is not a happy man when it comes to video games, having spoke out against them several times in the past. On his weekly show, he decided to say how PlayStation is "poison". Another nutter to add to the haters list?

"Those games they call 'PlayStation' are poison. Some games teach you to kill. They once put my face on a game, 'you've got to find Chavez to kill him.'"

The firebrand leftist president said any game that "bomb cities or just throw bombs," are sold by capitalist countries to sow violence so they can "later sell weapons."

They "promote the need for cigarettes, drugs and alcohol so they can sell them. That's capitalism, the road to hell," he added.
