"WARNING: Playing Fallout 3 is hazardous to your health to do the radiation emitted from the DVD."
As I suggested in that GP thread, a more broad worded warning might be good.
Warning: The contents of this game might lead to something happening somwhere if there was already a good chance of it happening and there is a statistical possibility of it being negative.
Or not, frankly we're not quite sure at this point
They did this before. The law was american I think, but we saw these splashscreens down here in Brasil as well.

oh yes, the george bush (v1.0) disclaimers, I remember those...
lol I remember those. I thought it was just a generic outreach program, possibly overfunded with some extra ad-space to buy. Were they targeting games specifically because we gamers are such huge stoners or something?
Bit of both. From Wikipedia:
Winners Don't Use Drugs is the name of an anti-drug slogan that was included on all arcade games imported into the US from 1989 through to the year of 2000. The message appeared during the attract modes of both video games and on some pinball machines. It was established by FBI Director William S. Sessions with an agreement with the American Amusement Machine Association.
It was part of the government's Just Say No campaign, and, by extension, part of the larger War on Drugs effort. By law it had to be included on all imported arcade games and continued to appear long after Sessions left office. The quote normally appeared in gold against a blue or black background between the FBI seal and Sessions' name. Sessions' name was removed from this background in games released after 1993 as he left the bureau and was, in effect, no longer affiliated with the program. Earlier games used a blue background, while later games utilized a black background.
His name was often concatenated into "Williams Sessions" by many non-English-speaking, primarily Japanese, game companies
I can't remember the game but there was at least one beat em up that features bush (or a generic bushlike president) at the end of a level parroting the winners don't do drugs slogan
"Just say no" doesn't work.
well it'd work if you said no and didn't take the drugs surely

my linked article was a "just say no to premarital sex" sort of thing.
Maybe there would be a few less unhappy marriages if the religious right stopped preaching that &$%&$%. Humans want sex. Period. Even if they'll believe in that whole "go to hell" stuff, that just means they'll marry quicker and be more likely to enter an unhappy marriage.
And anyway, it's not the government's job to decide who I jump in the sack with.
