I'm watching an episode of Quantam Leap where the local administration outlawed Rock N Roll.
Putting a cigarette-like warning on video game covers not only isn't going to do anything, but as tests have shown that warning labels encourage smoking.
EDIT: The title is "Good Morning, Peoria"

Cigarette companies operating/selling in Australia have to include pictures (I don't know about other countries). These can be fairly graphic of the extreme cases of the harm they cause; Gangrene, Cancer, Brains filled with tar etc...
So the gaming equivalent would be, what? close-ups of wiimote aggression?

Whoa, I just noticed I have rep. How did that happen?

it's supposed to be easy peasy to gain rep.
I found out earlier though, that the negative does reduce rep still.

I find that NOT being able to play the games tends to cause more acts of violence as shown here in this fine German production.

Governments wonder why they get looked down upon by ordinary citizens and here they are wasting tax payer dollars to put labels on video games.

but I want to see that.

Yeah, I just realized that sounds pretty rad. It's like what they do over in Europe; they show some nasty picture of someone's exposed throat.

tbh, that would probably drive me to smoke more, to collect all the pictures...

Warning! US Senators are atleast 98% detatched from reality. Please take every bill they post and everything they say with tongue firmly lodged in cheek or with a large of pinch of salt. Ingestion of ignortant righteous indignation can cause severe loss of brain cells and in some extreme cases is known to cause voting Republican.

LOL indeed. That is all.

It's like that with many things. I'm sure CD sales got quite a boost when they started to put those "parental advisory: explicit lyrics" stickers on the covers :-D

You never know, they might make a specal 'gamer' character for tekken 6, he's overweight, socially retarded and unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. He can hurl a wiimote instead of a fireball attack, do a dual handed attack by hitting people with ps3 & 360 controllers simultaneously, choke people with a keyboard cable and his nerd-rage super finishing move can be to shove a PS3 controller in the left eye, 360 controller in the right, both halves of a HOTAS stick & throttle PC joystick up the nostrils, a wiimote down the throat and a keyboard up the bum.
Of course you'll never see these fancy moves, he's utterly useless to fight with because games really don't teach you how to fight...
