US Senators Take On The ESRB Over Manhunt 2
eldavojohn writes "Some US Senate members sent a letter to the ESRB asking for 'your consideration of whether it is time to review the robustness, reliability and repeatability of your ratings process, particularly for this genre of 'ultraviolent' video games and the advances in game controllers,' the senators wrote. 'We have consistently urged parents to pay attention to the ESRB rating system. We must ensure that parents can rely on the consistency and accuracy of those ratings.' The group of lawmakers were concerned that Manhunt 2 was only given an 'M' rating and instead feel that it should have the 'AO' rating — a rating that only 23 other games have been given and a rating that would cause Sony & Nintendo to restrict it from being released on their consoles."
Fuck off, Hillary. Just fuck off and go away. You have no entitlement to the throne. Real progressives see through you like Pyrex. Republicans have been conditioned to hate you - no matter how much you try to appease them, no matter how much you chill with Joe Leiberman, they're still not going to trust you and they're still not going to vote for you. The knee-jerk "I'll vote for any woman in the race" contingency isn't getting you elected. Now you've decided that you don't want gamers to vote for you. I have no problem with a woman becoming President. Can we please get a different woman, though? Or tranny, or whatever?

+5 insightful? Hi mods, I think you meant to select "offtopic." The politicization of every issue makes me ill.

"Some anonymous coward, Slashdot posters posted a comment to Slashdot asking that 'Taco fix the fucking flag already goddamn. i mean it's been like ten years of leaning back on an inflated couch while spreading his legs superwide during an interview for whatever loonix movie that was and chuckling when adding CowboyNeal voting options, reading User Friendly or watching animu,' the ACs wrote. 'we keep making these posts and they keep getting modded 'Offtopic' and 'Flamebait',' The group of posters were concerned that Slashdot's topicus.gif was only given twelve stripes to signify the ZOG's influence on the Slashdot moderators."
Here's a fix, although not an easy one.
Lobby EVERYONE you KNOW to vote 'No Incumbent'.
