Parents Television Council calls game industry, gamers 'bullies'

GN Version 3.1

Do children also have a “right” to purchase cigarettes and alcohol? Of course not! If the law prevents children from directly purchasing other types of material that is inappropriate or harmful for them, why shouldn’t parents be able to rest easy knowing their child won’t be able to buy ultra-violent games without their permission? The videogame industry and those who support them are bullies, plain and simple. The PTC urges its members to stand up to the billionaire game companies that profit from selling sex and violence to children. - Parents Television Council

My dear lord, the ignorance levels of some people. Are we really comparing the restricted sale of cigarettes and alcohol to games? It’s like comparing apples to oranges! I really hope there aren’t too many people out there that think this way, because it shows that they don’t think at all.
