...here. Best Blogger Ever award, or something like that.

Kinda surprised I wasn't on the list. But fine, whatever.

I feel compelled to call out Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman and anyone else who continues to pander on the issue of videogames:

"Just like movies and TV shows, video games are created for a diverse audience of all ages, and some are simply not intended for children," ESRB president Patricia Vance said.

Yes. Duh. Are there parents out there who don't know this?

The average age of a gamer is 30. Not 12. In a recent study using secret shoppers -- hardly any children were able to buy M-rated games.

There is no problem here. Only politicians trying to make points with the values crowd. And further distancing themselves with the 30-year-old gamers who, you know, can vote.

This "issue" seems as big a waste of time as O'Reilly's Christmas rants:

With the holiday shopping season under way, the National Institute on Media and the Family released its 11th annual video game report card. The group urged parents to take a stronger role in safeguarding their children from games that glamorize sex and violence.

...All of the games were M-rated, intended for those aged 17 and over, advocates noted...No children were able to buy M-rated games in the institute's secret shopper survey this year, Walsh said.

Shocking! isn't it? Videogames that no hardly any kids purchase may actually include scenes of violence!
