I'm kind of neutral on the censorship of hyper-violence in video games. I don't like it, so I really don't have anything invested in it. But I don't imagine being the perpetrator of ultra-violence, even if it's just in a video game, is ever a good and healthy thing. Especially if there are children playing or watching. And yez, I know that parents should know what their kids are doing, but they ****ing don't therefore making the idea that the government should do it for them not so surprising to me.

If we lived in a perfect world where most people didn't have their heads up their asses doing stupid **** then I'd be all for minimal government intervention.
