Schwarzenegger's conflicts
Just when I had conceded, everything that could possibly been written about a video game had been written, the state of freakin awesome California came to the rescue.
Some got a little pissed when they found out Arnie was making a million and change from this pill company who he had just helped out with a little veto. I could really care less about finding a way to tell the public to stay away from vitamins in the Dollar bin at Big Lots, but if the doctors disagree then fine. However, now the media is yappin about profits he banks from the PS2 title, T3:The Redemption.
Please, someone explain to them how silly this sounds. If my Governor is getting rich from the game that EB paid me $.45 for, then maybe he should be asking for a raise.

"Supporters of a bill targeting violent video games are questioning whether Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger potentially signing it would be a conflict of interest.As a side note: has no one mentioned that young teens can spend their study time shooting the gov in the chest?
San Francisco assemblyman Leland Yee sponsored a bill that would ban the sale of the most graphic games to children.
Some question whether a ban like that could make young gamers more likely to choose games such as Atari's "Terminator 3" video game, from which the governor profits.
The governor's office says it's not an issue and his financial interests are kept in a blind trust so he can make decisions without knowing how it might affect his own finances. >> read more here.
Another point that society is going in the wrong direction. What next? Kids won't be allowed to purchase a King Kong game because he's naked and has a hairy ass.

Well, you know, the government thinks that this is an important thing to stop. I mean, kids shooting imaginary people in a game! How sick is that? Wait, we have kids shooting each other in the streets during gang wars and over stupid crap in school. Guess that's just not as important as stopping violent video games from getting into the hands of our children. Heaven f-ing forbid a parent has to be *gasp* a parent! :o
