Venezuela is experiencing violence and social unrest for the usual reasons: poverty, unemployment, disenfranchisement, and drug gangsterism.

The national legislature reacted by banning violent video games and toy weapons last month.

The story has not been circulated much. You can follow links from here:

It will for the gangs and the government.....nobody else though.

I guess that will be the next thing on Obama's agenda...assigning a video game czar and a toy czar. This will come after health care and cap-n-trade. Since Obama tends to have high regard for dictator-style leaders around the world, I'm sure Barry and Hugo are already comparing notes on many issues that Barry should address.
