| | www.prensa-latina.cu - In an effort to prevent all forms of violence in their country the Venezuelan government has passed new legislation this week that bans violent video games and toys with penalties of up to 5 years in prison for violating the new law.
The new law prohibits the import, production, distribution, sale, hiring and use of video games and toys inciting violent behaviour. The law is believed to help improve child education and prevent misconduct and specifically targets audiovisual material promoting and inciting violence, the use of weapons and toys imitating weapons, or stimulating violence and hate.
The new legislation says nothing however about how parents are expected to stop the whining of their teenagers who just had their copy of Modern Warfare 2 taken away from them... | |
