I really dont feel that its neccasary to post comments on an article like this, whats so bad ? Why kick up a fuss when it isnt needed? Save your breath for when they actually start breaking peoples privacy or breaching human rights. Just my 2 cents.

damn, I hate being american. Personally I would have preffered the porn star or, that comedian that smashes sh*t as the governor of cali. The government here really has become a joke, people care more about reality TV than the very important struggle going on in the supreme court. enough ranting and raving, who cares about video games, parents should be more concerned about what their kids are learing in school, ecpecially public ones.

Dang mystic, I've never pictured a small town in Maine made up of shotgun toting folks.

Anyways, I think they do need to change up the ESRB ratings slightly. All of the Mature games should be required by law to see an id, just like with selling porn, but the way this california legislation is supposed to be worded doesn't make too much sense. Mainly because there are R rated movies out there, and TV-MA rated TV shows out there, that both 'depicts serious injury to human beings in a manner that is especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel'.

The thing is, R ratings and TV-MA ratings are only for 'children', not people, 17 and older, not 18 and older.

They should have just changed the ESRB ratings to where they automatically get a M rating when they show harm to a human.
