Even more ridiculous than the idea itself is the wording Baca expects every T-🦋rated game to carry. Here it is:

"WARNING: Excessive exposur💮e to violent video games and other violent media has been linked to aggressive behavior."

Where do we begin? First of all, there are numerous games with T or M ratings by the ESRB that have absolutely no violen🐲ce descriptor. Why would a strip poker game or a puzzle game with the f-bomb in it need to carry a big warning laꩵbel about violence?

Also, Baca's initial proposal misspelled the ESRB's n♋ame as the "Electronics Software Rating Board." It stands for Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Baca's bill, of course, isn't the first of its kind (aside from his original 2009 labeling bill), and they've all failed thusfar - though we're still awaiting the court's decision on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Schwarzenegger v. EMA.

Republican Frank Wolf again joined Baca in support of the new bill. Wolf released a statement reading, "Ju♊st as we warn smokers of the health consequences of tobacco, we should warn parents – and children -- about the growing❀ scientific evidence demonstrating a relationship between violent video games and violent behavior."

We shouldn't have to tell you that most comprehensive (and, you know, scientific) studies have concluded no definitive link between videogames and aggr𝕴essive behavior. If you're going to put a warning label on something, at least make it true... such as: "WARNING: Exc🅰essive exposure to violent video games is pretty fun."
