Whoa, watch out:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Executives of retail giant Kmart are expected to announce Thursday a new policy requiring proof of age for the purchase of violent video and computer games.

Kmart officials are to lay out their new policy at a Capitol Hill press conference, accompanied by senators who requested the retailer step up efforts to prevent children from buying violent video games at the store's more than 2,000 outlets nationwide.

As a rabid champion of, uh, violent video games, I am somewhat displeased. It's not the store's job to determine yadda yadda yadda. Oh yeah, Wal-Mart charges less. The moral of the story? Kmart sucks.

I hope no other chains follow suit...
