I am sick and tired of people screaming, "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" Hey boss, I have a crazy idea for ya, how about the ass-clown parents be the ones to think of their demon-seedlings! How about they take personal responsibility for THEIR families. Oh no, that's asking too much, the parents expect... nay... they DEMAND that our ass-clown dominated gubbermint do it by shoving new legislation through that puts the responsibility on everyone BUT the parents. Hillary, you're the Queen of all Ass Clowns and Leiberman, you're a fracking court jester. Cheesus H. Rice! Somebody needs to beat them both with a big stick.
"Protect the children" indeed.
For those of you in the cheap seats who may not get what Will's talking about, here's how this will play out.
- Major retailers will stop carrying video games with adult content. "Why," you might ask? Because of liability issues. If they don't carry the games that you can get sued or jailed over selling to minors, they can't sell them to minors.
- Software companies will stop making video games with adult content. What's that you say? Oh, you don't play Grand Theft Auto? That's ok. The legislation will, I guarantee, be extended to titles like Ghost Recon, Doom, Need for Speed Underground, and more. Once again you ask, "Why?" Because they feature blood, killing, and/or illegal activity.
- Video games will be dropped down to the lowest common denominator - kid-safe content. That means that Disney will own the video game industry just as surely as it owns pop music.
You want to live in a bland country? Fine - go live in Iran. We AMERICANS like things spicy.
