If you're a political enthusiast, you may have noticed that Pennsylvania recently tried to pass a bill forcing violent video games to retail for more than non-violent games. This special "violent games tax," would force consumers extra cash in order to pollute their minds in their efforts to ruin our perfect society. Thankfully, that legislation never came to fruition.
In steps Britain and its Knife Crime Adviser, Richard Taylor, who believes that knife crimes in Britain is in large part due to the accessibility and cheap cost of violent video games for British teens.
"I have young people who I mentor and I see them go up and buy the games and it saddens me that they are being able to have such a negative impact," Taylor told the Home Affairs Committee.
Furthering emulating Jack Thompson, Taylor then targeted violent rap music and America.
"It is creating more of a problem because of the language that is used," Taylor commented. "It is language that, as a father, I would not allow my children to hear. To me, there is a lot of negativity that comes out of this music, especially that which is coming from America."
What's next in this debate -- parents should be jailed for buying M-rated titles for their kids? Oh wait, that was yesterday.
