I'm amazed that a decision was made by the american government about a censorship related issue that the majority of slashdot readers would agree with. Although many people would consider many of the arcade games of today to be very violent, there is more explicit violence in movies and tv shows. To Wakko Warner, I would say he should be more worried about what his kids are watching on tv than what they might hypothetically be playing in an arcade. I will say this, however. This could be considered a double standard when compared to pc and console games. Those games have ratings on them and they (supposedly) will not be sold to people who are under the age that is specified. What it comes down to, however, is that children are the responsibility of the parents. The government can provide all the information it wants, but it can't restrict decisions (at least theoretically).
