Venezuela's Violent Video Game Outlaw Plan

Venezuela is worse off than we thought. First Hugo Chavez, now this... The country plans to outlaw ..not just ban or label games... but outright outlaw them because it believes the cause of violence in the country is video games.

With dozens of people murdered in the capital Caracas each week, the legislature doesn't think that overhauling the infrastructure of the city is the solution. More police can't help, but banning violent video games will. Moreover with police in the country dispatching false statistics on violence, the reality is the country has no idea of how to govern itself.

The bill has cleared one hurdle and now has to pass a vote in the National Assembly, then to be signed by none other than Hugo Chavez. Let's check in a year later on the stats after this bill becomes law.

Meanwhile the world really should take notice of Venezuela if for no other reason than a good laugh.
