So, now store clerks have the threat of a $1000 fine hanging over their heads based on some balance between ESRB ratings and the whims of every store owner and their interpretation of what constitutes violence not suitable for 17 year olds. Yeah, that won't be overturned by a Federal judge, just like every other similarly idiotic bill put forth by other states with no understanding of the 1st Amendment and how it applies to minors. Perhaps Governor Blagojevich won't sign the bill into law.
It really is too bad that this issue has such a simple resolution (back the ESRB in every way, shape and form), which keeps the 1st Amendment rights of minors in place and doesn't waste tax payer money, but won't be implemented because politicians (of both parties) can't resist milking the issue for votes.
