NY Governor to Target Violent Video Games

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the answer-to-all-the-worlds-evil-obviously dept.

NoMoreGuns writes to tell us that Governor Eliot Spitzer is planning to target violent movies and video games in a new bill. "Spitzer said he wants to restrict access to these videos and games by children, similar to motion picture regulations which prohibit youths under 17 from being admitted to R-rated movies without a parent or adult guardian. Under Spitzer's proposal, retailers who sell violent or degrading videos or video games to children contrary to the rating would be sanctioned."

    I survived seeing lots of bare breasts in German TV ads when I went to Iceland (they show some German channels). I came back unscathed but I did buy a lot of German shampoo for some reason.
