News Report: Does Guitar Hero Improve Literacy Levels?

There are a lot of retarded studies going on in the world today. Unfortunately, we only have time to spotlight one of them. The American Library Association wants to know if video games are making kids smarter, and has Tucson, AZ libraries participating in its study to help find out. Now, the concept for the study isn't so bad. It's the execution of the study that boggles my mind. Apparently, these libraries are using Guitar Hero to gauge whether or not games improve things like intelligence and literacy.
