Well, thanks to Jack "Asshole" Thompson, if you sell a violent game to a minor in Louisana you can go to jail for a year and face a fine from $100 to $2,000.
Fortunately, there's something interesting hidden in the bill....

<div class='quotetop'></div><div class='quotemain'>(3) The game, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.</div>

What game doesn't have a story anymore? If anyone is accused of selling a videogame to a minor, he can use the defense that the game has a reasonably developed story. That would hopefully let the person get away with it. Still, I hope this law is challenged and defeated.

<div class='quotetop'></div><div class='quotemain'>Under the law, no person, not even a minors' parents or guardians, would be allowed to give or show them an inappropriately violent game.</div>
<span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%">What the FUCK?!</span> What the hell is happening to this country?! No one is allowed to raise their own children their own way anymore?! Have they forgotten about the Constitution?!
