'Game moms': Dazed & confused?

They seems to have fewer clues than soccer moms, anyway. Not all, but a lot of them, based on the impressions given by a Washington Post reporter observing game moms behavior in what is not generally their natural habitat: game stores. "Salespeople at the game stores, as amused as they are a little agitated, say they can easily spot the three types of game moms: the indifferent, the clueless and the hip." The salespeople don't seem to mind this sub-category: clueless with a list. The *other* lists game moms and dads might want to check against is the National Institute on Media & the Family's lists of games to avoid and recommended games (p. 11 of its 2005 report) and the ESRB's list of game ratings and what they mean.
