Only in America

Gamespy is my premium source of gaming news. they just ran an article on a new bill that the state of Virginia has submitted for review. Let's make the warning signs on the boxes bigger. The bill states that the warning sign must be printed on the front cover of the box and be at least 3 inches wide. Like people didn't know before. It's not like the rating in hidden in it's current incarnation.
"Grand theft auto III is M rated? I had no idea."
- Surprised minor

This reminds me of a stand up routine comedian Dennis Leary did a few years back. He rideculed a bill that wanted to make the warning signs on the cigarette packs bigger and more dangerously looking. A great skit from his album No cure for cancer.

I wonder what they will come up with next?
