People get defensive because any time anything happens some people are going to blame it on the same thing they blame everything on. You're right about the reason for this specific act, but there have been plenty of threads screaming for banning violent video games and movies.

Doesn't really matter what happened, either. Some people turn into Jack Thompson because it's Tuesday and Tuesdays suck, ergo violent video games (Or movies. Or rock music.) are to blame.

Edited to add: It isn't like anything was banned anyway. They just pulled them out of the state owned rest stops.
