Performance tests include: acceleration (0-60 mph and quarter mile), braking (60-0 mph), and timed laps at Grattan. Michigan’s finest also test fuel economy and ergonomics (based on a point system).

Oklahoma the latest state to pin problems on video games, proposes sin tax

Fat kids? Bullies? Oklahoma legislation is blaming these societal problems on video games, and wants to slap a sin tax on anything rated teen and up. An Oklahoma legislator is proposing a ‘what about the children?’ bill (HB 2696) that aims to tax violent video games.

If you live in Oklahoma and you’re gamer that likes shooters, you need to pay attention to a State Representative ironically named Will Fourkiller. According to Fourkiller, who once worked as a teacher and a coach, he has seen firsthand that video games can lead to obesity and claims that research has shown video games can lead to bullying in schools. The former teacher seems oblivious to the fact that there’s just as much research out there showing no link between video games and violence. I’d also like to point out that I’ve seen obese kids in PE class, but that doesn’t mean PE class causes obesity. Fourkiller is not calling for a ban on violent video games or any other sort of videogame in Oklahoma. What he is calling for is a [...]
