Does media violence have an effect on human behaviour?

People generally do not go around committing heinous acts of violence even with the large amount of violent content in the media. The number of people watching violent films like "Old Boy" number in the millions, but there has been been a small number of incidents that have been linked to it (eg. Virginia Tech). Therefore, we can safely say that the argument for media viomence affecting human behavioiur is a hasty and unqualified generalization.
