1. I think most of the people here complaining about selling game to minors being illegal are in fact minors and need to stfu, play mario and wait your turn.  The others are just bored.  2. I saw his skit.  There was nothing wrong with that skit and he wasn't hating on video games.  The joke was it is ok for my 5yr to disembowel someone and teabag them in a game but GOD FORBID he ever sees a breast or cameltoe.  It's retardo logic and you all know it.  

His producers/writers/researchers/whoever-writes-the-words-he-speaks did an absolutely poor job researching how content is rated in video games, and how most stores have a policy of not selling M rated games to minors without an adult being present. No mention of the ESRB, no nothing. Someone could show clips of Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds and say the same thing about movies, that there is no fucking federal law preventing minors from sneaking into R rated films. This was bordering on Oprah saying "over 9000" territory, as in people behind the scenes not fact-checking the nonsense that comes out of the host's mouth.

My biggest annoyance at this whole thing is the fact that there is this perception that children have free reign to buy anything they want. Oh the children this the children that; parents are responsible for their own children. Jon Stewart said some stupid things his writing staff obviously didn't even research.

You are using what people complain about when it comes to broadcast television standards--that you can show people being shot, but you can't show bare breasts--and trying to apply that to video games.  The important double standard here isn't sex vs. violence, it's video games vs. other media.    For this to be a true sex vs. violence double standard regarding VIDEO GAMES, you wouldn't say "it's okay for my kid to disembowel someone in a video game, but God forbid that they see bare breasts in that video game."  You wouldn't say that, because it's a non-issue, because they CAN see bare breasts in a video game.  Instead, you'd have to say "it's okay for my kid to disembowel someone in a video game, but God forbid that they see full sexual penetration--the kind that they don't even allow on HBO or Cinemax--in that video game.  Did you see Jon Stewart making fun of the fact that it's up to store policy for Best Buy to prevent a 10 year old boy from purchasing Saw or Hostile, and imply that maybe it should be a federal law?  No.  Just as Yee and the supporters behind this stupid law only care about a child being exposed to violence when the child happens to have a game controller in their hands.    THIS is the double standard.  Just because they showed a scene from Mortal Kombat and not The Witcher 2 doesn't suddenly make this into a debate over sex vs. violence.  It's not about that, and it never was about that. 

One more thing of my thoughts on this thread....  

@TanoPrime: It all just comes down to social taboos like you said. I think violence is more easily accepted than sexual things when it comes to parent/child relations cause imagine the difference between watching a movie with your kid and seeing someone get punched in the face or shot versus nudity and sex. The former may be easier to explain and less awkward in a way

Parents, get off your ass and do some parenting.

While I love Jon Stewart and think he is a very intelligent man(probably the smartest man in cable and news television), he forgot to recognize the role of the ESRB into this whole thing. The Supreme Court only ruled than the government can not intervene with the rating, sale and distribution of video games. They said nothing about whether or not the industry can be self regulated.
