Okay, not really, but you get my point. Anyway, there's a
new movement in D.C. to ban the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to minors. Erm… maybe I'm wrong, but
isn't that what the ESRB is for? However, it's good to see that those sly dogs in Washington aren't trying to force
developers to change the content of the games, or even have all violent games banned. As a matter of fact,
they even respect the medium as a protected form of free speech! Instead, they merely want to keep stores from
selling 'M' rated games to anyone under 17, and 'AO' rated games to anyone under 18. However, don't expect that minors
will forever be denied access to games with titles such as Voluptuous Vampire Vixens, much for the
same reasons that we saw the movie Pulp Fiction when we were 15. Namely, parents don't seem to really
care. After all, even if they can resist your incessant whining, Uncle Ted is always good for a copy of Grand Theft
Auto around Christmas.
I will shoot the next person who says video games have made me violent.
