Jack Thompson's Utah Bill

My view- Keep adult entertainment from kids on Deseret News is an Op Ed piece penned by none other than Jack Thompson, described as "a former practicing attorney" in an odd non-disclosure of his disbarment. Thompson outlines a bill to be introduced in Utah he helped author: "It doesn't define what content is 'harmful to minors,' so we avoid the phony First Amendment arguments Hollywood loves to make. The bill simply states: If you promise the public you don't sell adult-rated entertainment to kids, then you had better be telling the truth, because if a parent catches you selling this stuff to his or her kids, then you're guilty of fraud under the Truth in Advertising Law." GamePolitics has a follow-up on this, saying: "The Salt Lake Tribune has confirmed that a Republican state legislator will introduce a video game bill crafted by Jack Thompson."
