for some strange reason, call it women's intuition, i think they won't stop until they've won and the whole world (or most of it anyway) agrees with them.


and by 'them' i mean people against video games and people who think they cause violence.

and yes, i know this article isn't about any of those, but it's damn close.

It's a redundant debate. Banning violent videogames would violate your first amendment rights, as shown when dumbass tax-time-wasting Blagojevich tried passing a law banning (or was it prohibiting the sale of) violent video games in Illinois.

You could link alcohol and smoking to mental retardation, but you don’t hear politicians lobbying to get those banned. Sure, they’ll pull add campaigns and run anti-smoking add campaigns, but you don’t have to be half-way smart to realize that the government gets tons of funding from the tobacco companies.

You rub our back, we’ll rub yours. Yee-haw.
