Senators Clinton, Lieberman Announce Federal Legislation to Protect Children from Inappropriate Video Games

The Family Entertainment Protection Act will prohibit the sale of inappropriate games to minors



Washington, DC — Today, Senators Clinton and Lieberman announced that they will introduce the Family Entertainment Protection Act when Congress reconvenes in two weeks.

Senator Clinton was motivated to take action on this issue when it was revealed in July that Rockstar Games had embedded illicit sexual content in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This game had received a Mature rating from the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), which was unaware of the embedded content. When the content was revealed, Senator Clinton called on the FTC to investigate the source of the content and announced that she would work to develop legislation to address this problem. Rockstar Games subsequently recalled the game.

2. That's what I want, the government to take over the responsibility of the parents

Of course nothing is wrong with the violence, it is the sex they don't like

Funny, but I believe Jack Nickelson said something like this:

You cut of a breast, and you get an R rating, you kiss a breast, and you get an X rating
