An episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation entitled " The Game " told of a simple but addictive video game that captured the minds of Enterprise crewmen. It sent subliminal messages to them and nearly permitted pirates to capture the ship. Wesley Crusher and a young ensign played by Ashley Judd discerned the true, malevolent nature of the game and saved everyone. That game, Collin Cannaday proposes, was actually Angry Birds.via Urlesque | Cannaday's Website
