First, Illinois tried to pass a violent game ban three years ago. That lame move was found unconstitutional by a stalwart federal judge.
Now the state that brought us Honest Abe Lincoln recently passed a bill banning alcopop (Bacardi Breezers, Mike's Hard Lemonade, etc.) beverages in children-centric video games -- that means any advertisement, promotion and or marketing of.
Have we ever seen an ad for Gordon's Gin and Tonic, or Wild Turkey, or Hooch in a game that's rated T or under?

No one is promoting that alcohol product placement is necessarily a good thing in a kids' game, but c'mon, Illinois. Don't you already have enough problems with that mop head of a governor of yours, Blagojevich and who you guys are going to put into Obama's senate seat?
