German politicians want a ban on violent videogames
From Gameswire.net: Hot on the heels of the tenuous linking of Far Cry 2 to the recent shootings in the German town of Winnenden, comes a call to ban violent games from the CDU in Brandenburg.

CDU Acting chairperson, Sven Petke wants a full ban on violent games, as well as a ban on the online play of such titles. According to Petke ISPs should be responsible for policing their networks. He had this to say:

"These sorry efforts deserve to be banned."

"The time for excuses is over. We need corresponding web-filters, that are operated by internet providers."
