Supreme Court agrees to hear ironic appeal

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal of the state of California in the case Schwarzenegger v. Video Software Dealers Association, concerning the constitutionality of a state law banning the sale of violent video games to minors.  California is urging the Supremes to adopt a new constitutional standard that would enable states to ban such games for those under age 18.

“We have a responsibility to our kids and our communities to protect against the effects of games that depict ultra-violent actions,” said The Governator.

The dire effects of ultra-violent entertainment on society are well-documented and have included, in extreme cases, the election of former action heroes to a state’s highest office.
