Remember that time that a respectable community man dressed in a clown suit; raped, sodomized and murdered over 30 young men all because of a video game?
Oh wait that was John Wayne Gacy... and he didn't play video games.
May it come to pass, some day in the future, that Politicians will correctly stop trying to over legislate the morality of today's youth with stupid ineffective laws. Hopefully, they will all come to the idea that it is the responsibility of Parents, not the Government to teach all that is good, moral and right in our youth by instilling good concepts in their offspring. On that day, I imagine, Politicians will be better people and parents as well.
On the next day, lets hope Politicians see the light on DRM, then Internet Radio Royalties, then ineffective MPG Targets, then ...
i used to work at a Sam Goody. i routinely had to tell 8 yr. olds that No, they couldn't buy GTA themselves...they need to go grab their mom or dad, who's in the car, or out wandering the mall, expecting us to be babysitters, that they need to come to the store...
which pissed the parents off to know end, because, gods forbid,...they watch their child...or know what the kid is doing in his life...
This is just dumb. It's the parent that should get the jail time for letting their kid play the game not the poor 15 year old kid behind the counter of some store. Thats just plain fucked if this law were to be passed.
