Campaign-Themed Video Games?

Posted by timothy on from the bread-circuses-joysticks dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Gov. Jesse Ventura has come up with a 'great' way to get his campaign message to the younger demographics. 'The Ventura game -- or collection of games -- would be entertaining, 100-percent political and distributed free to voters as campaign literature, he says.' Wow, I can't wait, I haven't been this excited since Avoid the Noid from Dominos Pizza came out." Too bad video games aren't considered protected speech.

    "Gov. Jesse Ventura has come up with a 'great' way to get his campaign message..."

    "In the meantime, the video game idea is still in its talking stages, and Ventura hasn't yet been approached with the suggestion."

    Shouldn't that say "...Ventura's campaign committee..."?

    Just a clarification...

    Judge rules games offer no conveyance of ideas, expression, or anything else that could possibly amount to speech
