Fox News - A San Diego mother is suing Chuck E. Cheese, the favorite pizza chain of kids across the nation, accusing the restaurant of illegal gambling. Denise Keller, mother of two daughters, says Chuck E. Cheese has replaced its traditional games of skee-ball and whack-a-mole with machines that resemble slot machines, Capitol Weekly reported. The lawsuit says that “many games found at Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurants are illegal gambling devices that require little or no skill and are predominantly games of chance, much like a roulette wheel,” according to the paper. Keller’s attorney, Eric Benink, said the games have flashing lights and bright colors just like slot machines. "There was no fun involved in the game other than an opportunity to win a prize," he told Capitol Weekly. “It’s just pure random luck in terms of spinning out a result. That, we believe, is a slot machine, as California penal code spells out.”
Well no shit lady, way to point out the obvious. The casino's gotta have some way of training us kids at a young age, just like cigarettes with their awesome Joe Camel, you gotta get your customers while they're young and impressionable. Everyone knows that, and everyone until now has seemed ok with it until you came along and ruined all the fun. Suing Chuckee Cheese for teaching kids to gamble is like suing the Church (is Church capitalized when you say "the" in front of it?) for teaching kids to drink during communion. It's kind of just a given that everyone accepts.
And what is this shit line about "no fun involved in the game, other than the opportunity to win a prize." Umm, have you been a child? That is the fun. You think I averaged 5 boxes of cereal a week from ages 5-10 for my health? I was scarfing down Frosted Flakes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch like it was my job for years just collecting x-ray glasses, yo-yo's and various other trinkets that were no where near worth the risk of childhood obesity, but I did it for the prize, it was fun.
