Clinton Introduces Invasive Game Legislation

An anonymous reader writes "Senator Clinton has introduced a doozy of a game bill. It mandates an investigation of the gaming industry to determine how pervasive hidden mature content like the 'Hot Coffee' mod is." GamePolitics is reporting on the bill itself, as well as the ESA's response. From the latter article: "While we are gratified that the Senator holds the ESRB in such high regard that her bill would give these ratings the force of law, the courts have made clear that giving a private party governmental powers is unconstitutional. Beyond that, the bill clearly infringes the constitutionally protected creative rights of the video game industry. Thus, if enacted, the bill will be struck down as have similar bills passed in several states...." More commentary at Gamasutra.

Ok, got it. Here's a reality check - anybody posting on *Slashdot* isn't going to encourage people to take liberal views seriously. I mean, what a fucking waste of time this website is. And look at the motherfucking idiots that populate it too. Damn, what the fuck are we to be hanging out here. Losers, that's what.

And anybody telling someone else to STFU because they have a stupid nickname isn't going to encourage people to take liberal views seriously. What's next? Don't trust the hippies with the tattoos and the long hair? They can't possibly have any good ideas because they haven't bathed this week?

My god we really get full of ourselves on this website, don't we. Oh Noes! A guy with a nasty nickname just called himself a liberal on Slashdot! Now we'll NEVER get Hillary in the White House! Waaaaah!
