Uh, sorry about that. In somewhat related news, the Entertainment Software Association joined with the Video Software Dealers Association to, as promised, file a lawsuit attempting to overturn California's recently passed legislation forbidding sale of violent video games to minors. The lawsuit is focusing on perceived violations of First Amendment rights as its primary argument. In response, the bill's author Leland Yee has launched sharp criticism yesterday against the industry, apparently claiming that the industry as a whole "is not concerned with the health and welfare of our children; they are simply concerned with their own financial interests." California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who recently approved the bill, strongly supports the video game industry but has stated certain games should not fall into "the wrong hands" or the hands of children.

Note: the first paragraph of this news item should be read as a poem.
