Guitar Hero

I've noticed that people get very opinionated about music, and about Guitar Hero in particular. Go to just about any YouTube video for Guitar Hero, and you're guaranteed to find a post that says "GH is teh sux, play a real guitar faggot."
I play a real guitar, but I also happen to enjoy Guitar Hero. You know why? It's because I have an understanding that it's a video game. Not a simulation, not a guitar training tool, a game. A rather fun arcade-style game with a plastic midget guitar. I think that the majority of people understand that. I certainly wouldn't convince myself that I don't need to practice playing just because I've been playing Guitar Hero a lot, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
