  • Oklahoma makes game law injunction permanent

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

The same arguments for video games could be make for pornography:

...She noted that no "substantial evidence" exists that pornography is inherently harmful to minors. "[T]here is a complete dearth of legislative findings, scientific studies, or other rationale to support passage of the Act," she wrote in her ruling. Judge Cauthron also noted that interactivity didn't alter the legal status of pornography. "The presence of increased viewer control and interactivity does not remove pornography from the release of First Amendment protection," Judge Cauthron wrote.

Violence. Sex. What the fuck is the difference?

Boobies, Vajay-jay's and Weenies corrupt youth! It says so in the Bible... doesn't it? No? well... something needs to think of the children!

Actually, while it is because of a puritan background, sex isn't something kids need to be exposed to for a good long time. Nudity is a different issue because if you grow up in a society that doesn't make a big deal about it (like every country in Europe) then it's no big deal at all.

I've been watching episodes of Little Britain off of Netflix and I was still shocked (and also disgusted) when they showed a guy in full frontal nudity... just shows how our views are different.

Oh and-- the actual article is cool. Glad to see judges aren't all idiots. Stupid Governator still fighting it though.

I like boobies *and* guns. Does that make me a real American hero?

Take off your pants and look down. It's a dick, isn't it? You've got it; I've got it; every male has one. You don't have to aroused by it, so it doesn't mean that if you see one, that makes you gay. (The Dick: Before you become gay, you see The Dick.)

Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy.
It's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger
To the world's biggest prick.
So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy, or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons.
You can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public,
Or they will stick you in the dock,
And you won't come back.

I never said such a thing-- I just don't like to see it... much like I don't want to see an old woman's pancakes or a dog's penis-- it's disgusting.
