Video Game Violence Apparently More Pressing Issue than Real Violence
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In an odd turn of events, fictional violence that takes place in video games appears to have become a more pressing issue than real, actual violence.
For more than a decade, legislators have been fighting to allow government to regulate video games in order to protect minors from the purported ill effects of the fictional, pixilated world of gaming.
“This is about responsibility and protecting our children from video games' sex and violence," Rep. Watson Guptill, a Repubmocrat, said in a telephone interview.
A proud supporter of the “Protect Children from Video Game Sex and Violence Act of 2003”, Guptill has, oddly enough, not voted on any major legislation to put more police officers on the street, legislation that many experts believe would provide a deterrent to many crime-infested areas throughout the country.
“We need to send a message to video game publishers. Their ratings system is simply unworkable!” said Guptill. We need government intervention to stop this filth from corrupting our most precious asset - our children.”
