Every so often, I am glad I have Penny-Arcade in my favorites. Sturgeon's Law considered, the 10% factor comes through now and again. Tycho's critique of how one group tries to energize "the gamer vote" scored a bullseye.
This move looks like an attempt to energize The Slacker Vote, MTV's "Vote or Die" campaign having been unseccessful. (I am guessing the shortage of "booty shaking ho's" at polling places contributed to that iniative's underwhelming response. Packaging is critical to sending an effective message. Know your audience. :rolleyes: )
Insofar as censorship goes, I am sympathetic to the VGVN's point that the government has better things to do with their time than micromanage the Entertainment industry. Massive letter writing campaigns may or may not help, but they can't hurt.
