Video:Congress Ponders Videogame Warning Labels

congress ponders videogame warning labels



article submitted by pwningnubs.

house of representatives member joe baca (d-california) has introduced legislation that would attach a warning label to games rated teen and higher.

baca says that the video game health labeling act of 2009 is being introduced in response to the video game industry's alleged failure "to inform [consumers] of the potentially damaging content that is often found in their products."

the label would be similar to those already found on alcohol and tobacco products, reading: "warning: excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent media has been linked to aggressive behavior."

in a press release concerning the bill, baca cites a number of recent scientific studies as evidence of a neurological link between video games and aggression, and believes that affixing a warning label will "work to stop the growing influence of violent media on america's children and youth."

while it might seem a bit redundant to slap a warning label onto a box that already features a content rating, baca's bill strikes me as a rather clever approach to attaching the stigma of moral corruption to video games. previous bills went too far: by attempting to ban the sale of video games to minors, and essentially lumping video games in the same category as pornography, lawmakers attempted to skirt the constitution.

a warning label wouldn't get halo any closer to being banned, but would likely cause a great deal of alarm to those parents that do read the box before purchasing a game. i'm all for educating the uninformed about potentially harmful substances, provided there's concrete evidence, but a vaguely worded warning label does little more than sensationalize research results.

Video:Osama Bin Laden Features on Wine Bottle Labels

osama bin laden features on wine bottle labels


article submitted by master911.

a tasmanian winery has launched a new range of wines with labels featuring terrorist leader osama bin laden.

another label reproduces an image that surfaced from the torture scandal at abu ghraib prison in iraq, of a hooded prisoner with electric wires attached to his hands.

the wines are being produced by the moorilla winery, owned by millionaire gambler david walsh, in hobart's northern suburbs, the mercury reports.

the images are taken from political graffiti from the streets of hobart and melbourne.

the stencil image of bin laden goes next to a graffiti message reading "all you need is love".

beneath the torture image are the words "iraqi liberation".

moorilla has previously produced an erotic sex-and-death themed "muse" wine series.

moorilla winemaker conor van der reest said the temporary and contemporary nature of street art suited the drink-now ethos of the new "praxis" wines.

"it's not a question of us trying to confront people," mr van der reest said. "it's more a chronicling of stuff that's current, either in art or world events."

consumer labels

in case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed by stupidity, here are some actual label instructions found on consumer goods

on a sears hairdryer: do not use while sleeping.

on a bag of fritos: you could be a winner! no purchase necessary. details inside. (the shoplifter special.)

on a bar of dial soap: directions: use like regular soap

on a swann frozen dinners: serving suggestion: defrost. (but it's just a suggestion.)

on tesco's tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom of box): do not turn upside-down.

on marks & spencer bread pudding: product will be hot after heating.

on packaging for a rowenta iron: do not iron clothes on body.

on boot's children's cough medicine: "do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."

on nytol sleep aid: warning: may cause drowsiness.

on most brands of christmas lights: "for indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to what?)

on a japanese food processor: not to be used for the other use. (i gotta admit, i'm curious.)

on sainsbury's peanuts: "warning: contains nuts."

on an american airlines packet of peanuts: "instructions: open packet, eat nuts."

on a child's superman costume: "wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (i don't blame the company, i blame the parents for this one.)

on a swedish chain saw: "do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
