Things like this are why I hate living in a democracy

If there were any justice in the world, the Illinois government would have executed these morons instead of passing a new law.

Um, so they couldn't figure out how to cancel online? That's not exactly hard to do. There's also instructions on how to cancel and contact info. Are these people really that stupid or am I missing something here?

They really are that stupid. That's the point.

I know Illinois is boring and all, but did they even need to print this story at all?
chicago violence and obama is the only news were good for. though I dont think Obama counts anymore.

oh, also our sucky sports teams

^The website is specifically for video game related news and politics, isn't it?

[Souj]

i'd assume so given their name. but how could have anyone have thought this was news? the idiots can't read.
though I suppose they'd take any story involving when "polotics and gaming collide"

...I can't believe they wasted time and money on something so completely ridiculous. Any halfway decent game company would have this stuff implemented already, and just because these idiots didn't look around a website hard enough they had to go and pass a law requiring it? I don't disagree with the fundamentals of it, just that they're going to find that it's a bit extraneous and completely unnecessary, I can't think of any game that doesn't already have these options.

It's funny that SE isn't even in violation of this law that was made for them.

Funny, sad - it's a fine line.
