Uh oh...moral panic!

This article is about a petition put up to The White House to get "SkyRim" (actually titled "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim") produced by "Blizzard Entertainment" (actually produced by "Bethesda Game Studios") banned. This was eventually discovered to be a satirical joke, but it does draw parallels to Jack Thompson's letter to Bill Gates about CounterStrike we saw in the lecture. However, it did get some signatures, albeit mostly fake ones, but there were a handful of people who were genuinely supporting this fake petition.
