Kotatu has an article on how pinball is portrayed as evil by the liberal hollywood media.

For decades, pinball served as an efficient way for directors to convey to an audience that a character was a roughneck, an outlaw, and generally up to no good. Confused as to whether the Fonz is really a rebel? That pinball machine he’s playing should clear things up. As Sideshow Bob said in The Simpsons (episode 137: “Sideshow Bob’s Last Gleaming”), referencing the evils of television: “My foolish capering destroyed more young minds then syphilis and pinball combined.”

And once you start looking for pinball machines in movies, you notice them everywhere-spreading their youth-corrupting seeds of outlawerry and rebellion.
