Yes, you read that right. A Tennessee man has petitioned the President, via the White House petitions website, to ban the best-selling game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The petition that has been sent to the Obama administration is labeled “Immediately Ban the Deadly Videogame Known as “SkyRim” for The Safety of America’s Youths.” The text of the petition is as follows:
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.
Clearly, Blizzard Entertainment made Skyrim in the first place. At least Bethesda Softworks (the actual developer of the game) is off the hook for this deadly video game that is out there doing spiritual damage to teens.
