Researchers have worked to find a link between violence in video games and aggressive behavior. The findings can be conflicting and confusing.
But that hasn't stopped Venezuela from passing a law banning violent video games and toys that can be used in violent play. The penalty for being found guilty of selling or playing a violent video game? A fine and up to two and a half years in prison.
The law demands video games "promote respect for life, creativeness, safe entertainment, friendship, tolerance, understanding and peaceful coexistence."
No word yet from Venezuelan teenage boys - or their parents who have to listen to the whining.
