Fight Chicago's Transit Authority against banning video game ads

The Video Game Voters Network has done a great job of spreading the word about injustice in the world of video games. Currently, there is a battle taking place regarding gaming advertisements. One thing that continues to hurt the gaming industry is that while movies can graphically advertise for R rated films, video games are still wrongly looked at as "for kids only." Here's what the VGVN is sending to gamers:

We wanted to let you know about a big development against video games in Chicago.

Earlier this year, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) banned advertisements for video games rated M or AO on its trains, buses, and stations.

Today, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) filed suit against the CTA, challenging the CTA's prohibition on certain computer and video game advertisements as a violation of the guarantees of free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, charges the CTA with unfairly targeting the computer and video game industry by enacting an ordinance that selectively bans advertisements of computer and video games rated "Mature 17+" (M) or "Adults Only 18+" (AO).

Unfortunately, this isn't the first or last attack on computer and video games. ESA is doing its part, now it's time to do yours. Spread the word about the VGVN to five friends today to help defend computer and video games from unconstitutional legislative assaults.
