More Work, And, Video Games Are Eeeevil
Aside from writing articles and playing the likes of Quake IV and Dead Or Alive 4 on the Xbox 360, the rest of the day was spent mulling over the mild disbelief over Tennessee. It would seem that the democratic party in that state has proposed a bill to ban “extremely violent” video games. At first I thought they meant “from sale to minors” but no, they mean just make them plain illegal to sell or own in that state, thus putting video games into a whole other realm.
It amazes me that a country that has the first amendment, video games are now considered somehow more morally bankrupt than hard core pornography, which is still legal to sell and buy.
Man. Games are now on the same footing as contraband drugs. I here I thought playing games was geeky and loserly. Now I find that I’m actually a hard core rebel with major criminal tendencies. From now on when people piss me off, I’ll just say, “Don’t mess with me, man. I play video games.”
To which the only sane reponse is, “OH GOD, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME, I’LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT SPARE ME DEATH AT THE HANDS OF YOUR UBER L33T SKILLZ!!!11!!ONEONEONE!”

As bad as banning violent video games is, I think South Dakota has them beat by banning all forms of abortion INCLUDING those that would end pregnancies caused by rape and incest (in a state where rapists can legally fight for parental rights).
Dude, the red states are fucked up.
