HB 2696 seeks to charge 1% tax on all games sold in state rated Teen, Mature, and Adults-Only; money collected would go toward Sooner State's obesity and bullying prevention funds.

"A gentleman shot a police officer and stole his car," Fourkiller said. "He had been playing Grand Theft Auto. Not everybody is going to react the same, but I believe after hours and hours of watching the screen, playing the video game, being that person and taking on that role, people get desensitized."

That same gentleman probably grew up watching The Three Stooges and Looney Tunes, too. So? Are we going to tax kid's shows now, too? Politicians need to keep their greedy, corrupted hands off of video games, and stop trying to profit from this fast growing industry that isn't leaving any time soon.

P.S. Teen games are so violent. Psssh!

AP- In breaking news, an Ohio man wants Oklahoma to "suck his ****". When asked why the whole state instead of just the one douchebag, the man said only this...

"cuz."

After an extensive survey of a geographic locations ability, or lack thereof, to actually perform fellatio, he was questioned on how he intended to accomplish this feat. Early this morning the man released a written statement, stating only "..."

Looks like a lame excuse for more money that isn't even valid.

Absolutely rediculous. They won't ever stop trying this same ole song and dance.

While video games can be seen as part of the problem, there are many more factors that go into this... It like saying we should charge a bad parenting tax because that is more of the problem.
