Government Pressure on ESRB
Alex Blonski writes "There is new CNN coverage on the recent pressure the government is putting on the ESRB to crack down on mature-rated titles, after the Grand Theft Auto Debacle. ESRB President Patricia Vance says that 'It is very important for people to realize that this game is rated " for mature,' Vance said. 'This game is not a game that was rated for children. Regardless of what if anything was modified, it's a game that the ESRB has made as clear as it can that it was not intended for anyone under the age of 17.'"
As are the people who play them.
The games are full of mindless violence, misogyny and they're as mature as a bus full of first graders singing "I'm Popeye the sailor man/I live in a garbage can".
They're not for kids, to be certain. But they're not "mature" either.
I thought americans were pioneers, willing to take a risk... out there to conquer and take on the world, strong and independent.... But shit like this makes us look like a bunch of fucking wussies. Hell, I think we are. Sad bunch of fucks, there's no spirit left in this nation, just a bunch of god damn cowardly zombies.
goddamn people are stupid.
