The square-jawed one with the wrinkly wife wants to resurrect an anti-game bill that would ban the sale of M-rated games to minors. Although I agree that GTA and DOA: XBV should stay out of the hands of people who've yet to grow hair in the nether-regions, this just comes off all wrong considering Arnie has the highest kill count in a movie (Commando, which I could be wrong about, but he did slay an entire militia). When is this argument going to die (preferbly with self-detonation as Arnie leaps off the screen just in time to avoid getting blown up)? Aren't major retailers already carding people? Hell, they even card kids who want to buy a T rated game! As I've said in previous blogs, the ESRB needs to step up to the plate and start fining retailers who sell M-rated games to minors. They need to set up some kind of secret shopper program. They can even hire local area kids for part-time jobs to just roll around local stores and attempt to aquire an M-rated game. Sounds simple to me. Keep it out of the the government and law enforcement's hands. I'd like to think they have better things to do than punishing a high school kid with a part-time job at Best Buy. What am I saying? The government wants to control every thread of our life, and eventually they do. Oh well, good thing I'm old enough to buy M-rated games. Sorry tweeners! Load Comments
