No One Talks About Violent Board Games

In 2006, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius supported behind a proposal to legislate video game sales, to prevent violent content from reaching minors.

Now, the govenor’s son John is marketing a board game called Don’t Drop the Soap, where the object is to steal drugs and shank fellow prisoners.

The governor’s spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”

John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99… The contact information on the Web site lists the address of the governor’s mansion.

So… did she change her mind completely in two years? Violent games where you push buttons are bad, but violent games when you roll dice are fine? Violent games should be kept from under-18s, but her own son’s violent board game is available online! (Check it out here. Don’t Drop The Soap isn’t quite my cup of tea, but I think some gaming groups would have a laugh with it.)
