" X-rated" Sims versus Ashcroft

My favorite quote from Ashcroft: “And we won’t stop until the last drop of immorality is drained from our movies, our music, our television, our radios, and yes, even our video games.”

edit: May be a joke, if it is the author needs a few lessons on humor. Since the Sims 2 appears to actually have much of the the listed content, and Ashcroft often says similar things it doesn't work. He needs to exagerate some elements or just leave it to the Onion.

1. A$$kroft is barking up the wrong tree.

Yeah, go ahead and draw the ire and wrath of millions of 14-25 year-old Americans, and see where it gets you...

5. Parody article, I think. It's cute how they made it resemble WIRED, though

2. I'm pretty sure this is a parody

but not too far off from Ashcroft usually.

3. Oh for fuck sake.

A government thats fucking killing people and starting illegal wars has no fucking right to say a god damn thing. And, need we look at the other crap? Locking up nonviolent offenders and creating more hardened criminals? Gah... no full blown rant. Must resist.
Thats just the stupidest effing thing I've read today. Almost as stupid as the people who're against violent video games, and then took their kids to see 'Passion of the Christ' or some such.
Bah. Its a video game. Get a real job, Ashcroft, and look up the definition of morality. (A system of <i>ideas</i> of right and wrong conduct. As in, not everyones is the same)

4. Tell every male age 18-25 that

Ashcroft wants to take away their violent/sexual movies music and video/compy games... and Ill bet on a high turn out.

6. I don't think this is a joke

On edit - I looked closer and it's a joke. But a pretty good one.

It's a joke, I think. Not hard to imagine, but still a joke.
