I wouldn't have a problem with it if they said "Our products kill people, but we make better cigs than anyone else.
I'm going a bit off topic here but...
The US government has kept them from doing just this. Cigarette manufacturers are barred from nearly all forms of advertisement and forced to make those PSAs.
Honestly, this whole console talk is insane. How can you support a console and the games that may or may not be released for it before anyone has even seen it?
Here's another way to look at your argument. Because the PS3 will cost so much more to develop games for, only developers who are willing to put in the investment will make games. These games will be better because of the commitment to excellence these developers will have to make. With the Revolution, the entry for development is much easier and any Tom, Dick, or Harry will be able to make crap games cheaply.
Please wait until the system at least hits the shelves before telling me which of it's Kung Fu styles it's going use to kill Santa, Napolean, and Zeus in a royal rumble.
Then you are most definitely not a Nintendo fan boy. True Nintendo Fan boys purchase all things that Nintendo brings to the gaming community. You should also be rationalizing and downplaying any perceived misteps by Nintendo as the desires of hardcore gamers who only want to play first person shooters with plots about shooting hookers. You are what we call a straw man.
uch laws do not affect only children. They make selling the restricted items much more difficult and risky, thus increasing cost and decreasing availability.
Right because tobacco, alcohol, guns, and porno are SO hard to get a hold of.

Neither cellular nor VOIP can be used to replace a land line.
Even if they could, it still doesn't help when the only provider for land lines, cellular service, and high speed access are all the same company.
Both. And neither. When you're sniping examples, you can prove any point you want.
but pays only the minimum required by law
As opposed to the rest of us who enjoy paying more taxes than required.
If you're paid to work with EXEs, why can't you PAY for email that will let you send them?
You get what you pay for.
The notion that you're emailing your paying clients from a gmail account is a little odd to me.
Which is certainly more dangerous than someone getting killed in a car accident.

Mod the parent down... he obviously can't read what he himself quoted.
"should the "VU/SACEM/BSA/FA Contents Department"[1] bill proposal pass in the Parliament."
I can't see Superman as Clark Kent.
So all the years of educational programming on PBS, the History Channel, etc. have been a huge waste of time and money?
Your opinion flys in the face of research showing the benefits that educational programming gives to children.
I know directors generally have big egos, but this is ridiculous.
So Tim Burton doesn't think that Batman had toys before his movie? Batman was the first movie with tons of tie-ins?
Yeah, it's all your fault, Tim.
"Superhero Comics" are the ones with spandex. "Comic Books" are a medium. Not a genre.

When something more innovative in the genre comes around?

Then the summary was right... it IS like Carnivale.
I feel that BG2 was a much better looking game all around. The characters in NWN were muddy and oddly proportioned.
I haven't played it much since it was first released, but it seemed you could make your character obese, overweight, or anorexic.
I played through the initial campaign for a while and have tried going back a few times, but it almost hurts to look at it.
Good idea, but as it stands China would put the squeeze on us.
Everyone's sciene "facts" are ruining my ambitions of becoming an electrical supervillain.
I figured I could rob banks and take day-care facilities hostage by threatening to put on my very hip weatherproof jacket.
Oh well... I'll just continue 'Plan Greenhouse' by dispersing all these Arid Extra Dry cans I have.
AOL is just about to turn the corner and is currently the most undervalued division of Time Warner
Wasn't the fact that AOL was terribly overvalued what allowed them to merge with Time Warner in the first place?
At least that would get you out DOING something, maybe even interacting with other people.
I always found it funny how some people would play The Sims for hours at a time all while ignoring their real families.
Thanks for opening my eyes to the fact that not everyone can have a dog. If you noticed, the GP said he HAD a dog. That's what I was speaking to.
Instead of spending time with a fake dog, why don't you spend it with your real one?
You and your dog will probably end up much happier.
Not a single comment and the site is alread slahsdotted. sigh.
It's unfortunate that some readers are bucking the trend of commenting a dozen times before thinking of reading the article.

Are you seriously comparing an eight year old no longer being able to purchase NARC to the holocaust?
Wow...
