Oklahoma 'Games As Porn' Bill Now Law

simoniker writes "Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry has signed into law the State-specific Bill HB30004. The bill redefines a list of items, such as hardcore pornography, deemed harmful to minors to include videogames which use 'inappropriate violence'. The new Oklahoma law is due to come into effect from November 1st. The story notes: 'Despite being one of the more draconian anti-games bills put before a State senate, HB30004 has faced limited opposition, with apparently little concern being given to the consistent problems other similar bills have faced from legal challenges.'"

Guess Oklahoma will be pushing the Military out of their borders now too.

I don't give a damn how you think I should raise my children, I will raise them my way with the materials I deem fit, regardless of your holier-than-thou ethical viewpoint. Go worry about the cold bodies in Iraq and the levies of New Orleans before fucking with my fashion of parenting.

Love,
The American Family

I am so tired of hearing "liberal activists". This is bullshit. The majority of the justices on the Supreme Court are moderates. This is stupid labeling ploy activated by the right.
