Everyone’s favorite lawyer, Jack Thompson, is helping the mayor of Boston draft some legislation that will classify some video games in the same category as pornography. Similar legislation has already been shot down in other states, as you may remember, including Illinois, Utah, and Louisiana (where it was ruled unconstitutional). Also of note is that in mid-December, Boston banned placing ads for M-rated or AO-rated games in their transit system, stating that if X-rated movies can’t be advertised there, then M-rated (and higher) games shouldn’t be advertised there either.
