Supreme Court Decision Worth The Waste of Money

No contest. Uh-uh. Boo-ya! No more exploitation of children as a defense. No more so-called academic studies on the violent effects of video games. No more video games being more dangerous because they're interactive and different. Rabble, rabble, rabble. Can't win with it. Can't play with it. END of THIS.

People these days are ridiculous. Blaming video games for violence when there is the same violence in movies. There was backlash for Kobe Bryant holding a rifle in a Call of Duty commercial, but if it were in a movie trailer instead everything would be fine. People need to be consistent with their outrage. You don't like the violence in videos games, fine, but you also have to not like violence in movies and any other form of entertainment. Someone brought up a good point about how in Loony Toons there's cartoon violence. Are you going to ban Bugs Bunny now lol?

All is good now as the Supreme Court ruled against these idiots that have some sort of fixated hate for video games.

Now it's time to pass a law that keeps ESRB from regulating the internet. Remember when they forced sites to censor GOW3 footage?

It's the information superhighway. You can't retract something (that's legal, I mean) from the internet because some will find it undesirable. If a website has it's own rules on these things, fine.

Great pic, btw.

Moral panic, 'nuff said.

Life has 10x more violence but their not banning that.

I play some of the most brutal games this side of the sun and I am a very meek person so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

YEAH SCREW YOU BUREAUCRATS!

Double post...

And most of them don't come close to the shit I have seen in movies and TV shows. I would much rather let a kid play God of War 3 than watch an episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

[t2taylor]

Hey!! You leave Spartacus out of this. That show is like 300 but on EVERYWEEK!

[dinkeldinkse]

But not for a little kid.

[AllyOmega]

I'd much rather not show a child either of those. Because it's not like you have to choose.

[Aarix]

I'm guessing Phoenix Wright was involved.

[BigWoopMagazine]

Bout damn time. Any time somebody has brought this up, I turn to them and ask, "Would you let your kid watch Dildo Munchers 5?"

"No, of course not!" they always reply.

Well, then don't give them other material not intended for their age, as is clearly labeled on boxes of porn movies, regular movies, music CDs, and of course, video games.

Asking that question so bluntly is always hilarious by the way, it's really hard to keep a straight face.

That sounds like a movie I'd like to see! Will it still make sense if I haven't see the first four?
