GamePolitics is reporting that Minnesota Congresswoman, and Nanny Statist extraordinaire, Betty McCollum wants the video game industry to do just what the censors at NIMF want. If not, she’s threatening to sponsor some bill by some other statist moonbat from California which would ask the FTC to study game ratings.
It seems her main gripe is that the industry should “adopt a clearer, more universal ratings system.” Umm, Congresswoman, how can the ratings get any clearer than this?
On the left is the ratings label from GTA San Andreas. On the right is a Shaun of the Dead DVD. Not only is the game label like ten times bigger and in colors that are actually legible, there’s another big label on the front which movies do not have. As such, any FTC report would probably consist of about seven words:
“The ratings are already clear, you idiots!”
And being that I just did all the hard work, can I have Federal funding now?
