Well, I was reading a rant written by Dom (From Megatokyo), and he started talking about a person running for a government position in California who wants to pass a law that places violent video games with sexual content for the purpose of sale (i.e. illegal to sell to minors.) Now how stupid is that?! ESRB has a volentary rating system that has been in effect for some time now that tells parents what kind of video game their kids are playing. The parents have a responsibility to protect their children's minds from damaging topics. If kids who arn't supposed to be playing violent video games are, it's the parent's fault for shirking on their responsibility. Not the retailer who sold it to them, or the game manufacturer. Adding a law does nothing more than encourage parents to not pay attention. And the kids will get their games anyway, either by playing it at a friends house or coercing their college age cousin to buy it for them. I mean geez...
