It's a completely bogus bill in my mind. If kids can get hold of pot, they sure as hell can get their hands on GTA. This isn't the realm of the federal government however and I would say this isn't even the realm of state government. The sentiment is noble but the bill overreaches. My children will not play those games until I feel they are mature enough to handle them. It's called parenting. The government shouldn't have to remind me to do it.
Lieberman has been a bane on the video game industry for years and I really don't want to give him a win and momentum to get more stringent restrictions on video game content and advertising.
