Utah Games/Porn Law Fails

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday March 2, 2006 @09:40AM from the that-was-quick dept.

Just a few days after it passed the Utah House of Representatives, the 'Games as Porn' law has died in the Utah Senate. Gamepolitics reports: "The Senate, however, never moved the bill out of committee for a floor vote. Dying a quiet death, HB257 has now been thrown on Utah' s legislative scrap heap - at least for the current session. Perhaps the Utah Senate recognized the obvious constitutional concerns surrounding Hogue's bill. As noted by GamePolitics, a pair of well-known First Amendment scholars savaged HB257 in a recent guest editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune."

Two days ago, Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics.
Today, Utah Games/Porn Law Fails.
That's too much common sense to be for real.
So fess up. Which one of us h4x0r3d the Utah Legislature's vote-counting system? Because it's either that, or we're faced with a bigger problem -- namely who are the aliens who invaded Great Salt Lake, and what did they do with Utah?
