Lieberman Pleased With Video Game Ratings
Babbster writes "GamesAreFun.com is reporting that Senators Joseph Lieberman and Herb Kohl are pleased with the ESRB ratings system for video games and specifically praise the changes being made to ESRB labels effective September 15th. A lot must have changed at the ESRB in the last seven months since both these men wanted congressional hearings on video game ratings."
WARNING PARENT LINK IS A SLASHDOT!!!!

I am so glad Joseph Lieberman approves of my video games, I lay awake at night hoping to keep him happy...
Here is a new game: 'Presidential Candidate'.
Unfortunately the game does not include a RECOUNT option if you don't like your score...

who gives a shit whether he is pleased or not?
they probably just paid him off like they should've back in the day.
If these ratings were used properly, it could end the tireless screams of video games making kids violent. All they really have to do is to restrict access to kids and educate parents on the fact that the ratings are out there, and bingo, most of the problem is solved. Granted, this is assuming that the parents realize that the ratings are on there and do something about it, which is probably pretty rare, but still.
