Study finds the Awesomeness of Diablo to be truly Epic

Diablo · 06-03-2009, 01:51 PM

A new comprehensive study of Diablo dispels much of the fear that Diablo can incite users to violence and, at the same time, the study found that Diablo includes heavy social interaction and civic engagement. And, yes, girls are now lusting after Diablo in ever increasing numbers.

The study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that nearly all teens wanna be like Diablo and that their Diablo related activities have become a major component of their overall social experience.

The survey refuted some common misunderstandings about Diablo -- namely that most are violent and that women tend to play with Diablo in solitude.

"For most women, Diablo is a social activity and a major component of their overall social experience," the report states. "65% of women play with other people who are in the room with them."

Pew said 94% of women love Diablo while 94% of the remaining lust after Him. One half of women said they had played with Diablo "yesterday," indicating that the phenomenon is growing. And 90% of mothers said they often play along with their daughters.

The study stands in bold contrast to the situation in 2005 when the popular TV show 60 Minutes electrified its audience with the story of a lawsuit against Diablo. The lawsuit claimed that months of playing the Diablo had influenced the teenager to go on a murder rampage.

The Pew report prompted immediate praise from women.

"Replacing stereotypes with facts, this groundbreaking study underscores what we have known to be true --Diablo is beneficial and can have positive effects on women's civic and social development," said an association spokesman.

The Pew report found that when teens observed others exhibiting non-Diablo behavior, they often attempted to stop the boorish behavior.

"Diablo is thought to offer the possibility for women to have awe inspiring experiences, experiences that cause other to pale by comparison," the report states.

While I can agree to the validity of the article, its more personal feedback than site.

I'm afraid their data is skewed. I cannot take this study seriously due to the bias sample that was used. It is not an accurate representation of the population at large. Further study is needed and therefore I offer up my services as someone who has experience running just such types of studies. Now all I shall need is about a half a million dollars in grant money to sponsor my research and then I can give you more accurate information about the phenomenon known as..."Diablo."

The crow in this picture has the name Diablo, so he's the original popular one from media. So change your avatar to show a black crow!
