As the lawyer was leaving he was pulled from his BMW and thrown to the street as a 15 year old told him what for..as he jacked his car and ran over a hooker leaving the garage.

What about my right to play M-rated games online without prepubescent rants about how my mother is a slut who sleeps with any guy who can pwn her n00b of a son who can't even sploit his way to the 1337 sn1p3r spots? Or listen to little Billy discuss how he discovered the joys of masturbation!
Thanks Minnesota attorney general. You really saved the day, you jackass.

Yeah, I agree. I bought this Barney game and only fond out after buying it that you can't blow off that freak's head. If it had a rating, telling me it is suitable for kids, I could have avoided it!

Why did they bother with a $65k fine? I would have been more impressed if they had made it a $65,535 fine or something.
