Violent Video Game Protection Act

Posted by timothy on from the quixotic-but-deforming dept.

KidIcarus writes: "Four lawmakers in Georgia have submitted a bill that would make it a criminal offense to sell or make violent video games available to minors. Full text of the bill here. Seems that politicians still don't have a clue, despite indications that video games don't cause violence." This may remind you of the (since overturned) law segregating certain video games from others in Indianapolis.

    Hey, you moronic fucking Slashdot janitors! OSDN is so broke that it put a "Shop" button in the header that links to ThinkGeek? Ha! Face it, you're doomed to a life of "would you like fries with that?" as soon as VA's venture capital runs out! You're such losers that you'll never even make it into fast food management! But at least you'll be able to play video games and read SciAm during the evenings, and you can impress your gangmember co-workers with your "knowledge" of Perl and GNOME! Oh, you are so l337, oh uneducated and soon-to-be-unemployed ones! I didn't think that Kathleen would have gone for the trailer trash wannabe-hacker type, but she is from the Midwest, so all bets are off, eh? It must be a relief to finally leave your right hand for something technically female! Oh, w00t! Aha ha ha!
