Stephen King on Game Censorship

Boston's mayor Menino may not be dead but his brain sure is. He's the latest to speak out on the supposed harms of video game violence. This comes on the heels of a Massachusetts law that would ban the sale of violent video games to people under 18. Stores who violate this law would see heavy fines. The king of horror Stephen King though has come out blasting the law. He is concerned about the politicians acting like "surrogate parents". King is quite right. Lazy parents are turning to the government to raise their kids for them, and this sets a dangerous precedent.
