In a move that surprises exactly no one, GamePolitics reports that Democratic Utah Representative Jim Matheson intends to bring legislation that would make selling M-rated games to minors an offense. The Desert News spoke with Matheson about the bill and GamePolitics latched on to the same quote I did when I scanned the piece: "You know darn well the 13-year-old is not being carded when he buys Grand Theft Auto 2. You get points (in that game) for having sex with a prostitute; you get points for killing the prostitute."

It'd be nice if the guys who attempt to bring these bills to law at least knew something about games to begin with.
