Presidential Hopeful Takes Aim At Video Game Retailers

Presidential candidate wanna-be Mitt Romney was in Iowa on Friday, delivering his message of safety and family values to the public. For safety, Romney endorses "enhanced interrogation techniques"; for family values, he wants to protect children from a societal cesspool filled with pornography, violence, and perversion:

It's time to clean up the water in which our kids are swimming. I've proposed that we enforce our obscenity laws again and that we get serious against those retailers that sell adult video games that are filled with violence, that we go after those retailers.

Some folks, including Senator Sam Brownback, find Romney's cesspool stance hypocritical, pointing to the fact that Romney served on the board of Marriott International, which generated tens of millions of dollars' worth of revenue through in-room pornography services.
