It's here. Ban skyrim, sign it.

To prosecute the players of "SkyRim" to the fullest extent of the law.

Lulz

More people like "adolf hitler" from "***************** city" and "hue g boner" need to sign this.

[The E]

Good thing it's directed at a game called "SkyRim" produced by Blizzard. I am pretty sure that such a game does not exist.

[NGTM-1R]

Posting in a worthless troll thread.

[S-99]

Yes, the idea is to troll the legimate and ridiculous petition.

A great troll thread mind you. I find it great that others are rejecting the petition reality by substituting they're own with ridiculous signatures.

[Mongoose]

See, the smart thing to do with idiocy like this is to ignore it.

[Alex Heartnet]

The general public has a long history of mistrusting new types of media, and video games currently happens to be the newest type of media.  I bet if Skyrim was somehow a movie or TV show with the exact same content, there would be no petition to ban it at all.

Regardless, this petition -won't- go through.  Not in the US.  Freedom of speech and all that.

[S-99]

True that. But, if this petition is trying to make it to the white house. Then, i want what's happening with all of these fake ridiculous signatures to happen ten fold. Because a lot of people are going to read it and know it's bull**** just from the signatures. And who knows, maybe even a higher up will a have a good jolly laugh.

Whereas you can't forget about the person who made it is probably overlooking it as we speak.

A lot of the signatures are so horrible, it's too funny, that's what makes it great (and how stupid the petition is, not to mention the wording). Anyway, for ridiculousness is why i posted this. It has been popping up at computer news sites. It's great comedy in my eyes too.

[Scotty]

How about people never hear about it and know it's bull**** because it didn't get enough signatures?

Much safer.  Zero probability is infinitely safer than very little probability.

[Enzo03]

I was told the petition itself was made by a troll website called Christwire.

[Grizzly]

As this is the only game I know off that actually allows people to marry (as opposed to just having sex with everyone) I find it rather strange that it challenges the christian foundations the USA was apperently built on.

[Alex Heartnet]

The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.  Do the petitioners apply this critical lack of research to everything else they do?  All it would take is an hour on google to come up with a far more persuasive argument - open sandbox-type games like this are very easy to take out of context.

And maybe that hour spent on google would bring up what would of been a far better target for this petition.  A petition against Saint's Row 3 would be far more reasonable.  The petition they currently have will only serve to make future petitions harder.

Much safer.  Zero probability is infinitely safer than very little probability.

Zero probabibility is guaranteed with names like "hue g boner" and "adolf hitler" on the petition.

As someone pointed out, yes it most likely sounds like something christwire did.

Either way, the luster of the petition doesn't seem to be appreciated much here.

[Klaustrophobia]

zero probability is guaranteed by the fact it's a petition.  less than zero by the fact it's an ONLINE petition.

[esarai]

Lol just give it more bogus names.  A few more nails in the coffin to ease it along: it requests the Federal Government to do something expressly banned by its own constitution and completely fails in its understanding of American history.  In short, no official in their right mind would take this seriously.

[Turambar]

I am glad that we found out that the white house petition website was actually a joke -before- we started making jokes on it.

I don't know about that, you forget about the shear number of totally idiotic proposed laws that lawmakers do put forth each year. Just about every year some one in congress proposes that video games promote violence. Not to mention the fact that just about every year there are proposed amendments to the constitution to abolish abortion, prohibit flag burning, balance the budget, allow prayer in schools, make gay marriage illegal, etc. All of which usually fail with good reason but with the head way the fundies have been making in congress here the last few years the possibility of such things getting enacted at the federal level is starting to get frightening.

[karajorma]

To be honest I find this petition to be a rather pedestrian attempt at humour. Now the ePetitions one to ban Lord of the Ring : The Two Towers because it had deliberately chosen a name designed to cash in on 9\11, that was hilarious.
