It seems Congress has had enough of the likes of Congressman Joe Baca. In what some political analysts are calling “as big a surprise as Kate Winslet’s second Golden Globe, judging by her reaction”, Congress last night passed a bill to prevent what is being called “mindless anti-gaming legislation”. The new Bill, as lobbied for by gamers across the States and by international gaming diplomats including HM Queen Elizabeth II from the UK, will take immediate effect as the “Anti Anti-Gaming-Hokum Act”.

The new legislation will prevent any proposals related to “mindless censorship” of video games – such as those recently made by Rep. Baca – from being made to Congress ever again. The full story, after the jump.

In a surprise joint resolution made by Congress as a whole, the proposal to create an “Anti Anti-Gaming-Hokum Act” was centered around, as the drafted bill read, ‘moronic lawyers and members of our very own House…who seem to make video games their top priority over the needs of the citizens they represent, whether representing them in a court of law or on Capitol Hill. We mean, seriously, video games, your top priority?’

The joint resolution proposed the creation of the now-in-force AAGH Act and a 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution; a necessary adjustment to “prevent any more time-wasting legislature being proposed to Congress”. The AAGH Act also prevents lawyers from taking video game companies to court as “accessories to murder”. The Bill was quickly ratified by 47 states and by the President and brought into immediate effect, with the Amendment quickly added to the Constitution.

Congressman Baca was quick to deplore the creation of the AAGH Act and the 28th Amendment, calling the former “the work of scheming video game companies out to make our lives a misery” and the latter “unconstitutional”, despite the fact that the Amendment itself is part of the Constitution and logically cannot be in conflict with itself. Baca also said he was “unswayed” by the passed Bill and that he would explore “several loopholes” to attempt to propose cigarette-style warning labels on the front of video game company buildings (artist’s impression).

When queried on the subject of what would be his final signed Bill, the President commented that he wholeheartedly approved of the Amendment and the creation of the AAGH Act. “Y’see, ah just want to go home and play some Grand Theft Autos, and be left in peace without that, um, Tack Jompson knocking on mah door.” Gamer lobbyists present at the time nodded in agreement at what they are calling “the President’s finest hour, in his final hour,” to which HM Queen Elizabeth II added: “Verily”.
