I love how when people are for the legislation, they never get the facts right. I mean, it's obvious that the MPAA doesn't do well with their ratings. I'm looking at the back on one movie, and I can't even find the rating, and the movie's Donnie Darko...seriously where the hell is it? Of course, the rating system for the ESRB is pretty simple, and pretty visible too...so why is there any form of problems? Because no one thinks about the obvious and looks past what's sane, and zooms straight into the blatenly bizzare.

What I want to know is there anyone (parent or otherwise) who picked up a copy of GTA, Manhunt, or Doom 3 (which has gansters with guns and or demons on the cover) and said surely this will make a good game for my 10 year old son or nephew!
"In criticizing Louisiana... ESA President Douglas Lowenstein invoked the name of (Hurricane Katrina)... we are outraged that many gaming companies seem to operate without a conscience, or - so arrogantly voiced by Lowenstein - even a sense of dignity."
Errr no. He basuccly said that money should be spent on cleaning after katrina, not useless laws.
You want someone without conscience or dignity then look at JT who seems to think more people will die because of video games than katrina/the aftermath of katrina.

So, not like it mattered. But it doesn't change the fact that ignorant media like this is exactly why the indsutry needs to start getting tough on PR.
