Shame on Illinois

It's become quite the popular pastime for politicians to invent anti-violent video game legislation. The good old ESA has cleared out that crap from at least 7 different states. The most recent cleansing added a new wrinkle to the whole affair.

"As result of trying to enact a law banning the sale of violent videogames (which was found unconstitutional), the State of Illinois must pay the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), game industry trade group, $510,528.64 in attorney fees." - source

I'm glad the ESA is finally getting paid for the work they do. Hopefully, the threat of a fine will stop this kind of silliness, because just looking stupid hasn't stopped politicians yet.
