Politicians need to leave gamers right the fuck alone.

I was going to write a post about 10 moments in cinematic history that made no sense. That was, until I read about how a senator decided that his brilliant plan for properly rating and censoring video games from the people that don't need to see the naughty, fun content in them was a brilliant fuck idea. I should mention that the stupidity of Senator Brownback's idea is on such a grand level, it could be said that he's trying to rid the world of video games permanently.

The idea is that the ESRB, the group that rates video games, must completely play a game through to its bitter end. Essentially what this means is that games that are designed to be played online, with patches and mods and neat-o stuff like...is gonna go right out the fucking window. Because patches, mods and the other neat-o stuff isn't available for the mass public at that time. You know why, senator? Because it'd created and downloaded at a later date! With the possible exception of the hot coffee mod, a lot of the stuff is user created because us hardcore gamers, we like two things: violence and boobies. And when we put the two together, we could blow a video gamey load.

"You mean I can put BOOBS ON MASTER CHIEF!?!?!?! GIVE ME THE PATCH!!!"


Here's my suggestion: politicians and righteous parent-family groups, shut up. Your kids aren't going to buy those games because you won't let them. And I seriously doubt you'll let your kids go play at some other kids house if he has that stuff. So what does it matter to you if someone else's kids go play those games? That's of course assuming the parents aren't doing their job, by not buying Junior all the naughty fun games.

I digress.

I'm tired of all this bullshit surrounding games. Why not, just, I dunno stop showing the world how small your penis is by trying to legislate every aspect of media entertainment there is and focus on issues that politicians should be focusing on? Things like HEALTHCARE and EDUCATION and HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES!!!

I'm glad that politicians are being stupid again. I kinda missed that.
