À quoi ça sert l'amour?

...which I believe roughly translates as "What is the use of love?"

France: "Video Games Are Art"

Oh, France, how I adore you! You were way ahead of the us on the film = art and the comics = art thing, and now you are recognizing video games as art.

In March, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, France's minister of culture, pinned a medal from the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres - a prize awarded to acknowledge cultural accomplishments - on three prominent video game designers. Now he pushing video games to be recognized as a cultural industry eligible for tax breaks (just like the film industry in France is).

"Call me the minister of video games if you want - I am proud of this. People have looked down on video games for far too long, overlooking their great creativity and cultural value."

And we get Senator Clinton and Jack Thompson. I wonder if Johnny Deep has a room for rent.
