Banning Skyrim in the US?

[the Savage Hippie]

First of all. I did a quick search and couldn't seem to find anything on this matter.

Have you guys seen this? (I put in spoilers so it wouldn't fill the entire page)

Spoiler:

we petition the obama administration to:
Immediately Ban the Deadly Videogame Known as "SkyRim" for The Safety of America's Youths.

Whereas videogaming has proven to cause social, ethical and health problems in people of all ages,

Whereas sexual perversion and homosexuality are threatening to destroy the Christian foundations on which this nation was built,

Whereas a new video game has just been created that far exceeds any others in the psychological and spiritual damage it does to teens,

We, the American people, today ask you,

1) To enact an immediate ban on the videogame known as "SkyRim" produced by Blizzard Entertainment.

2) To seize and destroy all copies already in public hands and erase its presence on the internet.

3) To prosecute the players of "SkyRim" to the fullest extent of the law.

4) To create a national database of videogame avatars and "screen names" so that teenagers can be better monitored.

What do you think of that? Is that serious? What the... Blizzard Entertainment?

I haven't clicked on the source, But if it's Christwire, it's a troll.

[POMC S117]

On behalf of all Christians, I apologize. What [&@%!] up retard wrote that?

[Evil-i]

Well, they have 9 days to gather 24.4K more signatures, and they've gathered all of 581 signatures since November 24th. This will float like a lead zeppelin.

First off I want to say if this is not a prank its just some crazed guy and NOT the feeling of all Christians

2nd off don’t worry it wont happen the dead line is coming and they don’t have a 10th of what they need

[Frost Mage]

It's Christwire, it's a troll website meant to imitate conservatives. Don't worry.

[Argonanza]

It is a prank.

no it's not, https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/responses
unless they made this and put it o there which seems a bit.. exstream

[DorostheConqueror]

Seems the Frost Trolls are up to their old tricks. Sneaky little devils...

Honestly, do people really think this how the Christian Right behaves? I know they can be insufferable at times, but there's a fine line between clever parody and outright demonization.

[the Savage Hippie]

No matter if it is a troll. I still find it very amusing. Can't stop laughing at "publiced by Blizzard" hahaha

I think this is a petition we can all get behind. I personally find the "SkyRim" produced by Blizzard Entertainment to be quite evil and immoral, and the same goes for all of it's players.

[Wolfie]

You know what if by being on this site it some how gets the needed pepole? :O

Nah, you have to create an account before you can "sign" the petition. Just visiting the site does nothing.

[the Savage Hippie]

wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man - you always have to agree with him, no question there.

[DarkEastwood]

It's taken so lightly, that the people petitioning about it voted for the ban out of joke. I mean seriously look at the names...

I just stumbled on a signature by "Todd H"

[soda popinski]

Our government is too busy overturning our bill of rights to give a [&@%!] about a video game.

Why, yes!

lawl. I've heard quite a few of my friends make some jokes about "SkyRIMjob" so I'm going to be absolutely CRAZY here and say that "SkyRim" and "Skyrim" are not the same entity. Despite being some kind of joke, what with "Blizzard Entertainment" and all, there is little evidence that would point to gratuitous "sexual perversion" not to mention the ESRB rating for the game is mature, making legal "spiritual damage done to teens" minimal.

Maybe santa will give them the remaining 24,000 signatures they need before Christmas. XD

It appears that Alduin, Jarl Ulfric, The Greybeards, and possibly M'Aiq's cousin, Mahlique, also back this petition. Wow, even the Champion of Cyrodiil and a Uriel Septim are in on this! And Tiber Septim and Dovahkiin themselves!! lmao Perhaps it's worth considering. XDDD

[The Pale Lady]

The signatures on this made my day.

[Thelonius]

You know, as comical as this is and as lightly as we all take it, there have been protests and calls for a ban of skyrim from the uber religious right. Mainly because of the ability to have a same sex marriage in the game.

You know, cause if an Orc man falls in love with a Nord man it will surely corrupt all the children. It would be the begins g of the end times... Fire would rain from the sky, demons would be asking you to kill the innocent, huge dragons would attack cities....... Oh... Wait...

[Evil-i]

Perhaps this version of Skyrim will be accepted.
