More like... Not Yet. This is creating a legal industry that will start to examine any activity 
which have a negative cost effect on our socialized medicine system. Beer makes will soon be in 
court for the bill boards that cater to the macho inner city males (Old English 800 The Tiger!).

Car companies who have run ads featuring stunt driver or high speed driving will face suits 
because their encourage a monkey see monkey do style of driving.

Video game makers... same...

Companies that make boot knoves, belt knives, K-bars, etc. will be in trouble for making  a 
product with no legal purpose. Already many companies that sell such will NOT sell to residents 
of California.
