QuoteTwo US Congressmen Monday once again proposed a bill that would require the vast majority of video games to bear a warning label about content they consider "potentially damaging."

Under the one-page Violence in Video Games Labeling Act [PDF link], packaging for all video games except those rated "EC" for Early Childhood would be required to prominently display a message reading "WARNING: Exposure to violent video games has been linked to aggressive behavior." The proposed label would be required even if the video game in question is not violent.

I don't see this actually going anywhere.
