The Craziest Thing I've Ever Heard: Wal-Mart Covering Game Covers

Wal-Mart is placing a porno-style three quarters black sleeve over M-rated game covers. This has to be a joke. And T-rated games may get half sleeves. That makes even less sense. I'm really afraid I'm being had here, this really sounds like a joke. There's not much more info here, but apparently this is true. What could possibly be "damaging" on a game cover? They're not "interactive", which is the buzz word for most who blame violence on video games. A quick look through the video rental store will show you that approximately one fourth of movies' covers involve you looking at the main characters of the movie through a girl's legs. You may laugh, but it's true.

And, of course, it wasn't true. Sigh.
