- A Tennessee man kicked off a White House petition on Thanksgiving urging the President of the United States to ban The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for "the safety of America's youths."
So far he has five backers, and only 24,994 more digital signatures to go to meet his goal.
Confused? Let me explain. The official website for the White House now includes the ability for anyone 13 or older who lives in the U.S. to start a petition about literally anything and try to garner the President's attention with it. The result has been... interesting?
While there are legitimate petitions about legitimate issues on the site, there are also plenty of out-of-left field, and downright crazy ones. Maybe even some jokes. I'm not sure where this one falls, but I'm hoping it's just a joke. Heck, maybe it's linked to the christian satire article that Luke wrote about earlier today.
Here's the full petition in all of its glory:
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.
Update: Turns out the petition was indeed created by the Christwire folks. C'mon, guys, don't tell me that you're not surprised at this. Yup, they also want to "prosecute" us for playing the game... Oh yeah, and the game is NOT made by Blizzard. Way to fail, Christians.http://kotaku.com/5862623/a-half-dozen-people-petition-white-house-to-round-up-all-copies-of-skyrim-outlaw-and-burn-them

| Its always good to read some bullshit from religious fanatics just to see how out of touch they are with the general public while they desperately try to get more people to join their cult. | |

| Seems more like someone who does not have their facts straight and/or a troll, or both.
America was not founded on Christian principles as your local church would like to have you believe. Also last I checked there was no proof of ethical and ect. brought about by the playing of video games. | |

| The reason the end of the world didn't happen is because God was to busy anticipating Skyrim. | |

If memory serves me correct one of the founding points why America was formed was for religious freedom.. | |
