This here from GameSpot speaks volumes...

The Michigan House of Representatives approves a bill that will penalize retailers for selling certain games to minors. According to the Macomb Daily , Michigan's House of Representatives recently voted 98 to 2 in favor of a bill that fines retailers for selling mature or adult-only rated games to minors. According to the bill, any sale or rental of an M or AO-rated game to anyone under 17 years of age can result in a misdemeanor punishable by a 90-day prison sentence, a $1,000 fine, or both. The bill will move into the Michigan Senate for a vote sometime this year.

90 days in the clink and a grand in the hole... for a misdeameanor?!?!?!? :mad:

Yea total BS I agree but that will never fly even though it's already passed.

For god's sake people don't go to prison for murder and drugs these days never mind selling a damn video game to a minor, hahaha what a joke. These idiots that pass this sh!t is amazing. I really would love to slap these people!!!

They're almost equating these games to selling cigarettes to minors now. The difference...cigs kill 100's of thousands a year, and video games haven't been proven to kill anyone as far as I know. :rolleyes:
