This is nothing more than politicians stroking their constituents by condemning something easily condemned.
Infotainer (aka any mainstream Reporter) seeking ratings sound-bite: Senator, what is your stance on Porn in video games?
Democratic Leach (aka person of low moral fiber not smart enough to become a lawyer, or gutsy enough to openly break the law, aka any politician): Why yes, Mrs. Infotainer, I am. I am against all things obviously controversial, unless the latest People magazine poll indicates my core voting public may be for it, in which case I will answer in vague double-talk until I have time to spend public money on polls to see what my stance should be.
Infotainer: Do you have an opinion on the scene itself?
Democratic Leach: Oh, goodness no. Mother and me play canasta at the weekends, so I'm so out of touch I'm not even sure what we're discussing. But rest assured I'll pressure whatever spineless, equally clueless government body who I'll blame for this catastrophe into proceeding with whatever gets you and the rest of the confused sheep that make up the bulk of voting America off of my back as quickly as possible.
Obscure translation, unfettered by bitter cynicism: just more meat for the Machine.

Me, a cynic? Never!
