Way to be on top of the issue

In today's editorial on the video game law thingie, you get the impression that the writer hasn't actually followed the story all that closely. It includes statements like:

So it's no surprise that the Video Software Dealers Association and the Entertainment Software Association are taking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to court for signing a bill that would limit the amount of violence permissible in video games.

and

Soon after, the state legislature passed a bill that forbade videos that enable "killing, maiming, dismembering or sexually assaulting an image of a human being," which was then affirmed by Schwarzenegger and is set to go into effect in 2006.

=~ s/videos/video games/;

Of course, the law in question doesn't actually ban such games, it just forces a ratings system and requires stores to enforce it (by not selling to kids and such). But hey, what are details?
