I can't agree more with the other responses to this article... I fail to see how people can blame video games/movies/tv shows/etc. for the stupid things people do. If a kid goes out and hits a police officer with a bat, it's because he is a bad kid, or has some kind of emotional/mental problems. It's NOT because he played a game and did it. Any rational person knows that you can't pull a Grand Theft Auto and go on a rampage shooting people and nothing will happen. People use this as an excuse to a) get themselves out of trouble, or b) get money for being stupid.
If this law passes, where does it lead? Should newspapers be held responsible for people who read articles about someone being murdered, and then go murder someone? Or if I read a novel and someone in the book steals a car, and I go steal a car, is that the book or the author's fault? This is completely asinine.
