The quick summary of this article is this: This article talks about causes of this Supreme Court case, why this case was brought to the supreme court, and the lasting effects of this ruling. This article gives information summarizing everything about the ruling of the Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Ass'n case. This includes the causes of the law in question, the legal actions taken and what was decided in the courts, and the Supreme Court Ruling and what each Justice has publicly said about this case. The law in question was a California state law which, "banned the sale of certain violent video games to children without parental supervision". I had to read this article twice to fully judge if this article is reliable or not. The first time I read this page, I was reading it to understand what the page was about because I have not heard of this case before this assignment. The second time I read this article, I decided to pay close attention towards the tone of the language in this page and the cited sources. Every fact in this article had a source to back it up. Although I am not going through every source in this article, 75 to be exact, I did do a quick look through the citations at the end of the page. Most of the sources used are from respectable sources like, the actual court case summary from the Supreme Court, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal. The list goes on. However, After diving deeper into the sources I did not know about, there are a total of 14 out of the 75 sources that come from a biased opinion. They all come from video game news sites and obviously these sites are going to want the Supreme Court to call this law unconstitutional since it benefits the video game industry that they work in. However, while reading this article there was no informal of the author taking a side of this decision. This article keeps a neutral stance on this topic. It is very easy to take a side on this topic because of how controversial the idea, violence in video games makes underaged children violent, is. There was no language suggesting that the author agrees with or disagrees with the outcome of this Supreme Court Ruling. The author gave reasonable background talking about the origins of this controversy. The writer also talked about other cases similar to Brown v Entertainment Merchants Ass'n and how their results affected this controversy. And to sum the article up, the author added a “Public Opinion” section where the author presented a national telephone poll results which asks the public which side of the controversy do they stand on. This was a nice addition because it shows that the public actually cares about this controversy. I went through the article a third time to check if there was any links that were not working. Every hyperlink I clicked on brought me to the correct place. Also there appears to be no information out of date as well.

Test

There is also an account of a 47 year old man who was sent to the Emergency Room after consuming a hamburger topped with Ghost Pepper puree. Later reports revealed that his esophagus ruptured due to intensity of the pepper

Strengths and weaknesses of the article: Strengths: Gives a very academic summary of this type of viral video. Also there are links to other food eating challenges at the bottom of the article which relates well to this current page Cons: Does not give an example of one of these videos to give a visual to what is being described on this page. Also there appears to be only two accounts of someone being sent to the hospital from consuming one of these spicy peppers, so I am going to add one more to give the reader more information about the dangers of this viral video.
