A movie theater analogy is more appropriate than a cigarette analogy...

What strikes me as interesting is 21 is the legal age for parental consent. So, if I was 21 and my brother was with me I could legally vouch for him as a parent. If you are under 17 and you would like to see an R-rated movie you need to be accompanied by an adult, and said definition of an adult is 21. At least here in Illinois.

I don't think the ESRB should be enforced by law. I think parents should start doing some damn parenting, because that's the underlying problem. I was playing Doom when I was 7, Duke Nukem when I was 9 and I'm fine. I really don't think the government has any business policing the entertainment industry, and I would like it to stay that way.

Anyway, Best Buy is a horrible horrible place to shop. I refuse to shop there unless there is some amazing sale. I know a few people that work at Best Buy, it's a shady business.
