Mother Gets Violent Games Removed from Movie Theater Arcade

Mother Gets Violent Games Removed from Movie Theater Arcade

None

The Des Moines Register is reporting that a mother took her two small boys to the Century Theater in Jordan Creek Town Center where she discovered the games area the movie theater had. After seeing “zombies being blown to bloody bits,” Tracy Codel boycotted the theater.

“Even if I chose for my child not to play that game, the sounds and visuals were still present,” Codel protested. “This is like showing an R-rated movie to my kids if they’re in there.”

She told the theater in a letter and follow-up petition drive, that she would not see another film at the theater until the owners removed the games.

The theater complied and now all the arcade games, excepting Tekken 5, are rated “suitable for all ages.”
