Thompson's new legislative angle would put retailers at risk of false advertising charges if they sell mature-themed games or films to minors.
::) ::) ::)
At least he won't ever go against violent video game anymore...

He is...at least against having violent games declared harmful to minors (an approach that he swore was constitutional),
:'( :'( :'( :'(
Apparently the idiocy is at Utah.
I need to catch up with my game newsQuoteex-lawyer has taken his show to Utah where the Deseret News has given him editorial space. Playing the fear card, Thompson blames violent games for all sorts of evil and paints the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) as a fiendish organization that aims to put M-rated games in the hands of minors. Thompson writes:
"The Entertainment Software Association bragged this week that it spread $4.2 million around to 'lobby' politicians at the federal level, with more spread around to state politicians.ESA wants to make sure entertainment retailers can continue to go behind parents' backs and get at kids."
Does anyone (besides FAUX News) really care what this idiot thinks? He's never been right and only wants to push his own propoganda.
