A new bill in the U.S. Congress would force retailers to card kids attempting to buy video games bearing "mature" or "adults only" ratings. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I want camel toe and nipple creepy violent video games!
In addition to the identification-checking requirement, Reps. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) and Lee Terry (R-Neb.)'s Video Game Ratings Enforcement Act, introduced on Wednesday, would also require stores to post explanations of what the ratings, devised by the industry-backed Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), actually mean, according to a press release. A copy of the bill's text was not immediately available on Thursday.

Rep. Jim Matheson Credit: U.S. Congress)"As a parent, I know that I'm the first line of defense against my kids playing Mature-rated video games," Matheson said in a statement. "But parents can't be everywhere monitoring everything and some reasonable, common sense rules ought to be in place to back parents up."

For the record, games with an M-rating, by the ESRB's description, are considered suitable for people age 17 and older and "may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language." Those with an AO or Adults Only rating "may include prolonged scenes of intense violence and/or graphic sexual content and nudity" and are recommended only for people age 18 or older.

PEOPLE NEED TO PHONE THEIR CONGRESSMEN AND SPEAK UP. IT IS THE PARENTS' RESPONSIBITY TO MONITOR THEIR CHILDRENS ACTIVITIES.

I think if this bill goes into play, the MATURE rated games will have a blank check and we'll see more blood, more hookers, more drugs, and more guns. It will give them a license to go more crazy like the Japanese games are.

Video game companies should be sued by the grieving parents of the victims of Columbine, Virginia Tech, and other schools across the US.

A GIANT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! They are preying on innocent minds, and targeting the lowest common denominator in our society. And to top it all off, they are making BILLIONS of dollars a year.
