Utah Passes More Useless Gaming Legislation

March 13th, 2009 by Anthony Perez

Not surprising since the previous administration didn’t understand the Constitution and even wanted to bastardize it (READ: Bush Administration Weighed Restricting 1st Amendment) – only political comment, I swear – but Utah has passed the seemingly 200th piece of legislation aimed at protecting children from heroin’s gateway drug: videogames.  Slamming down on the X button [...]
