  1. Comment - House bill would enforce ESRB game rating system

    (May 11, 2008 - 7:21 PM)

    "It shall be unlawful for any person to ship or otherwise distribute in interstate commerce, or to sell or rent, a video game that does not contain a rating label, in a clear and conspicuous location on the outside packaging of the video game, containing an age-based content rating determined by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board."

    What about old used games? Would it become illegal to purchase or ship old Nintendo and Atari games that were created before the ESRB was formed? What about cell phone games?

    Every few years politicians feel the urge to defecate on the Constitution. They tried the same thing with comic books in the 1950s. Music in the 80s and again in the 90s. Now video games are in fashion.

    Why don't they just censor themselves? I'm pretty sure that children learn a lot more about bad behavior watching the news and hearing about all of the affairs and illegal behavior that our leaders are up to. Mrs. Clinton's husband taught all of the children in the world a lesson in alternative uses for cigars. How is that any more inappropriate than video content?
