Looks like Indiana is trying to restrict violent video games. I like how the proposed law would include good ole Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, and practically every non-sport NES game:

...a violent video game is one wherein a character appears to "(A) kill; (B) dismember; (C) decapitate; (D) maim; (E) disfigure; (F) mutilate; (G) cause serious bodily harm to; or (H) rape" another character.

I guess that would include Mario killing Koopa, squashing (disfiguring/maiming) gumbas, loosing his mushroom power (serious bodily harm), and jumping up and down on the pricess (rape). I'd even include drug use with Mario ingesting flowers that are on fire and eating mushrooms that make you bigger and give you life.
