In July of 2008, I wrote about Attorney General Blumenthal taking on the makers of a beer pong video game for the Nintendo Wii. In the name of protecting the children of Connecticut, Mr. Blumenthal forced the makers of the game to rename the game Pong Toss. Point Mr. Blumenthal.
Right now, it’s all about cell phone games for the kids. In between texts kids play all sorts of games on their iPods.
And guess what, in the App Store there are at least 3 virtual beer pong games. One of the games happens to be free.
The cold hard truth that kids in Connecticut have access to virtual beer pong games. The horror of it all!
With today’s announcement that Attorney General Blumenthal will seek one of Connecticut’s seats in the U.S. Senate, I hope that some intrepid reporter will ask him for an update on the war against virtual beer pong and whether or not he thinks federal legislation is necessary.
