Movie Addicts. Celeb Dishers. Gamers. We're All Here.

Seriously. Almost. Because you guys just dodged a bullet of monolithic proportions.

See, I don’t know if you know about it, but your government–you know, those putzes in suits you pay to make decisions for you? The ones who come around every four years begging you to vote for you and then spend the rest of those four years ignoring you and believing you’re all morons?–very nearly passed a bill that would have held media companies liable for violent acts committed by consumers of video games, movies, TV and books.

Which means there would basically be not one snowflake’s chance on the surface of the sun that you would ever, ever see a violent video game, movie, TV show or book. In fact, you would probably be under some kind of permanent media blackout. Not even your evening news would be able to operate under those conditions.

Surprise, surprise, you have a Republican to thank for that particular dose of stupid: Rep. Warde Nichols, by name. Remember that name come election time so you’ll know who to throw out.

But seriously…this is a really stupid idea. What’s next, blame the auto industry for car accidents? Blame the fast food restaurant for obesity? Blame the handgun industry for murder? Oh, wait…some of those really happened. We’ve got to do something about this kind of thing, folks, because we’re wasting a whole lot of time and tax dollars keeping lunatics like this from introducing ridiculous and overambitious bills so they can look good in the media.

And if you want to some of the games they hate most, go try Kwanzoo’s first person shooter trivia!
