Nanny Nation Notification

The Pig Party is one of the cruelest jokes played by frat boys. The winner is the brother who comes home with the ugliest girl.

The appears to be a secret equivalent of that game among state legislators. The winner is whoever comes up with the most unworkable, unconstitutional and embarrassingly idiotic law possible. The Massachusetts junk food law, listed below, has no chance of winning against New York‘s law banning the sale of violent video games to minors. Currently being hashed out, this law would make it a class E felony, punishable by 4-6 years in prison. That’s the same as the penalty for third degree rape.

But wait, there’s more. Afraid that the Senate would win the Worst-Law game without them, the house has added provisions that would require console makers to add parental controls to all game consoles sold in the state.
