POLITICS: EU trying to ban 'violent' computer games

Is there no area of our daily lives the EU doesn't want to poke its nose? I came across this story on the Macworld UK site and was horrified. Banning violent computer games - do they really think that is the solution to the world's ills? Do they not recognise sick people are sick people? Do they seriously expect us to believe that if it weren't for these games we wouldn't get people committing violent crime and the like? It's just todays media. It used to the 'Penny Dreadful' or far later still comics like 'Commando' (which incidentally I noticed it Waterstones you can now get a hardback volume of - good news for me) and the like. Of all the pointless ministerial roles the EU has appointed why doesn't it go one further and appoint a 'Minister for Common Sense'?
