Schwarzenegger's Appeal of CA Games Bill Under Fire
The CA games bill struck down last week to cheers is currently in a holding pattern as Governor Schwarzenegger works on an appeal. His decision to fight the judiciary is coming under fire from several sources. The ESA has mounted a campaign against the initiative through its Videogame Voters Network. Even the media is objecting, with an opinion in the LA Times telling the governor not to bother. "Having made a career off fantasy violence, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is an odd advocate for the regulation of violent video games. After all, his face (and, sometimes, his voice) helps to sell a number of electronic kill-fests. Yet there he was last week, pledging to appeal a federal judge's decision against a state law banning the sale of such games to minors."
I'm in the minority here. I actually WANT children to be prevented from buying M-rated games by any means necessary. I'm tired of getting my ass handed to me by six year olds. For god's sake, go finger-paint.
When asked for comments the Governator's spokesmen replied: "He did it for the lulz".
