"Congressman Joe Baca (D-California) reintroduced a bill this week that would
mandate all video games with an ESRB rating of "T" or higher to be sold with a
health warning label.

The Video Game Health Labeling Act of 2011 will create a new rule within the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) which will add a warning
saying: "WARNING: Excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent
media has been linked to aggressive behavior."

...........

Video games do not cause violence or aggressive behavior for an rational sane
person. But every once in a while we have a whack job that plays GTA for too long
and thinks its reality and goes off and does something stupid.

Looney Tunes never made me aggressive. Not the slightest. But have you ever seen two
minutes of Teletubbies? That really makes me want to smash something.

Watching Wile E Coyote has always given me the urge to strap my ass to a big ACME rocket
and light the fuse.....

Old news. When I was a kid it was Elmer Fudd and Wile E Coyote. Exposure to
those kinds of violent archetypes can breed psychopaths, dontcha know.

Everything has to have warning labels now. Not sure if you smoke fox but packs of
marlboros in Ohio have been coming with little cards inside that say "Nothing about this
cigarette will help you quit smoking". Hello captain obvious?
