To enact an immediate ban on the videogame known as 'Sky Rim' produced by Blizzard Entertainment.

I'm calling shenanigans. This sounds exactly like a christwire article.

It seems I've moved past the stage of stupidity killing my faith in humanity and begun appreciating shit like this for comedic value.

Basically, the White House webpage has a way for people to set up petitions for anything, I think.

Anyways, here is the link to the petition.

Note the Elder Scrolls references in many of the signatures.

I just find it hilarious that stuff like The Elder Scrolls is being targeted, yet the Shin Megami Tensei series (which, y'know, explicitly portrays God as evil) slip under the radar.

The 3rd and 4th things on the petition are also hilariously impractical. Really? Creating a national database of every single character created by every single teenager, ever?

@Vertigo High: I dunno about Skyrim, but I think he might play The Witcher 2...gifted by president of Poland and all that...

Well, Christian fundamentalist strikes again? Also the it Did Not Do The Research rating is off the scales...

SMT is really niche series, do it won't stir up much attention when its attacked like this. Stuff like Skyrim, Pokemon, or World of Warcraft are household names, and thus more people will notice when you call it satanic.

Didn't the US Supreme Court find video games to be protected under free speech or something?

SMT refers to God as an outright dick.

Of course he is one, so...

Ugh. This isn't the best way to handle this. I can understand the guy's sentiment, but running to Uncle Sam for something that isn't going to happen isn't the way.
