Court Says Kids Can Play Violent Video Games

from the phew dept

The Supreme Court has decided not to bring back an Indianapolis law that said kids needed parental consent before playing violent video games at arcades. Apparently, the law said that parents needed to accompany their kids, and then had to give their explicit approval before the kids were allowed to play those games - which were then to be cordoned off from all the sucker kids whose parents wouldn't come with them or let them play those games.
