That is, if you’re a public servant on the take!
“Let me be clear of our intentions: Any public servant who cashes a check from the videogame industry will be exposed by the PTC as taking a stand against families, and his or her actions will be communicated to constituents in his or her congressional district.”
I don’t really know how to take this.
First, I’m pretty happy for the Parents Television Council, what with them expanding beyond just television as of late. I think it’s great that mentally retarded (no offense meant to actual retards. I’m sure they wouldn’t be caught dead running an organization like the PTC) are able to run such an organization. Maybe they can get a Bronze medal just for competing?
Second, that they, a big organization almost assuredly using lobbyists themselves, complaining about another organization using lobbyists brings joy to me heart. Really, there aren’t much more foolish complaints you can make than, “They are going to use the exact same system we are! Lets call them on it!”. I guess you can’t really expect much from the same idiots that flooded the FCC with complaints when Janet Jackson’s nipple was shown during the superbowl (the next idiot that tells me their kid seeing a nipple ruined them is going to get a god damn smack). Ok, I guess that explains it. They are just plain stupid. Can’t really argue with stupid.
I do like that they have no problem lying to get their point across:
Winter went on to accuse the Entertainment Software Rating Board of failing to “prevent companies like Rockstar Games from subjecting millions of children to sexually graphic material as they did with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.”
What the fuck are kids doing playing GTA, any version, much less SA? And how would the millions of kids that supposedly saw this content have done so? They couldn’t have unless they had PC and modded their content. Sure, it was included on the disc when it was shipped, but, and this is the important, there was absolutely no way to access that section of the game without modding the game! None! So the whole fucking complaint is bullshit. I really love these guys.
I see the PTC, I mean the idiots, also complain about bad language in tv shows constantly. These guys are awesome. I don’t know about you, but I feel pretty comfortable writing them off as retards…except, well, politicians don’t. The FCC listens, politicians listen and so do others. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me (I’m lying).

What Would Matt Do: Did I care enough, I’d suggest someone watching the watchers. Post every single politician that takes donation from these jack offs and post it on a website called, http://www.IAcceptedDonationsFromIdiots.com. That would sweet. Someone go do that, would ya?

I couldn’t agree more… These people should use the liberal parts of Europe as an example. Before the PTC came about. The FCC had only 400 complaints A YEAR!.
Now it’s 2 million or so…. That and the fact us dumb Americans are the only ones in the industrialized world who complained about that whole janet jackson incident….
