"Today, after sitting on the bill for nearly a month and constant political pressure, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 1179, the bill that would prohibit the sale and rentals of violent video games to minors. Again, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board and the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) are challenging the bill. According the the VSDA, the bill is faulty in that a game is decided whether or not it is 'violent' by juries, and different juries could have different opinions on what is defined as 'violent'."

From a man that built his career on acting (I use the term loosely) in violent movies.

I bet big Arnie was against the bill too....(I hope given his past)

But this is America, land of hypocrisy, where minority groups in any other country are actually a majority there.

Meanwhile they will still produce and market violent films.

Also this is a blow to the gaming industry, as there will simply be more pirated copies of games floating around.

what a boat load of crap Frenzy. Just means that children will get there parents to buy the games instead, not go out of their way to pirate the game.

ahh but lots of US parents are religious and righteous, they're contributing to get this bill passed.

so kids will ask their friends parents to buy it for them :p

and chad one does not have to 'go out of their way' to obtain cracked/pirated games. It's easier and far cheaper than walking down to the shop to purchase it.

A boat load of crap? More like an ocean liner don't you think?
