Ficken shyte... I am sick of all these damn laws that make up for bad parenting. The title gives you an idea of what kind of game it is! Mortal Kombat, God of War, Grand Theft Auto are not names that evoke images of fuzzy bunny rabbits sipping tea and jumping rope to anyone. A parent can access everything they need to know about a video game on the interweb. There are tons of videogame review sites and there is game footage on youtube and videogame trailers. There is no ficken excuse for parental ignorance.

I saw a lady bring her 6 year old to see Bad Santa with Billy Bob and another lady bring her 6 and 8 year old to see Jackass 2.

While I am not in favor of this bill, I would like to point out that the rating system is in essence the "parental control" for the movie. The man chose to disregard the rating and takes his (presumed) children to see it anyway.

I'm pretty sure I remember Hillary Clinton being a big proponent of mandatory parental advisories(?)/rating systems for video games. So...

...y'all voted for her, lol.
