Japanese state to restrict sales of 'Grand Theft Auto III'

TOKYO (AP) — A state in Japan has decided to ban a U.S. video game from being sold or rented to minors, after officials deemed it harmful and capable of inciting violence.

Now isn't this most silly thing you have ever heard? How about banning outright a violent game that allows users to kill drug dealers and cops?

Oh Piffle, Court Sides With Bush on Secrecy of Cheney Energy Panel

This just in…an appeals court voted 8-0 (as in not one member of the court felt that what administration was claiming was passing strange or even funny, but not ha ha) that Dick Cheney did not have reveal who helped the administration formulate its energy policy, or publish the minutes of these meetings. As far as I can tell, because I am not strictly speaking a judicial or constitutional expert, Dick does not have to tell who, what, where, why, and when because the attendees would not feel safe speaking their hearts and minds if anyone knew who they where or what they had to say. For instance the coal industry might feel shy about revealing that they believed that more coal was what was needed. Likewise the Oil and Nuclear industries are so scared to speak their minds about needing more of their products that shining the light of day on the proceedings would leave them cowering in their boardrooms…oh piffle…you cant make this stuff up it's so absurd.
