Here's one you dont see ever day, or well... ever?

Thanks T.J. Young.

How long until the moralists, Ashcroft, or tools of the music/film industry hop up and slam the FTC, declare that games like Ghost Recon train terrorists, or blame Serious Sam for the recent suicide bombings in the middle east? Anyone care to place bets?
