  This is quite clearly a publicity play. Even if this made it through the relevant legislative bodies, it would be crushed by First Amendment considerations immediately.

    I was wondering when the comments could come back to this point. Jack Thompson already went down this path dozens of times (on the same freaking game series). Nothing in here is different than the crap that got thrown out before. Its just a waste of money and energy. I thought we had finally moved passed this specific waste.
