Hillary Clinton thinks that the federal government has to start regulating content in video games. Right wing conspiracies aside, this woman has flipper her wig, and here's why...

If it weren't for video games I would kill people. Yea, that's right, each and everyday I would shoot, stab, or in some other fashion kill at least one person. Life can be quite frustrating at times, and often you're only job during the day is just to figure out how to deal with it without going completely bonkers. For me, I do two things to avoid becoming a mass murderer; comedy and video games.

Hillary thinks that the simulated sex in Grand Theft Auto is pretty much the beginning of the end of human civilization. Of course, co-moralist Joe Lieberman is joining Hillary on this crusade to save humanity as we know it. Somehow I doubt the two of them have ever played the game, or any other game for that matter, but as politicians they obviously feel qualified to tell us why they think we're all messed up.

Back to why I play video games for a second. Sometimes, once in a blue moon, I have a bad set. Afterwards, I could go drink, or do drugs, or drink and do drugs, but usually I just come home and play some video games instead. A half hour later I couldn't care less about the set and I'm more focused on how to shut off a power generator so I can move to the next stage, or how to
beat the level 4 boss.

Though I did eat mushrooms in college, I assure you it had nothing to do with Super Mario Brothers. And while I did once stop an evil alien force from taking over the world it had nothing to do with Contra. And you know what, if it did, would it be that bad?

Video games do not make people more violent. Politicians who trivialize real issues and then make it about things such as video games is what make people violent.

Now you'll have to excuse me. This whole thing has me so riled up that I'm gonna have to fire up Grand Theft Auto and punch out a couple hookers.
