People in northern California's Marin County will soon have the option of either trading their violent video games in at GameStop for cash, or to the county itself for...ice cream. The Marin County Independent Journal reports that district attorney Ed Berberian is launching a new buyback program where people can turn in toy guns and violent video games in exchange for delicious Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

Berberian, who held a similar buyback program last year for firearms, is partnering with the Center for Domestic Peace and Vermont-based ice cream purveyor Ben & Jerry's for the campaign. On Saturdays in October, anyone can turn in toy guns and violent video games at various Marin County locations to receive their free ice cream (though we don't know what flavor(s) will be offered or how many scoops you'll get). A full list of buyback locations is available here.

Sorry, we don't know if this flavor will be offered

Center for Domestic Peace development and community relations manager, Marla Hedlund, said the buyback program is an effort to "inspire people to become part of the movement to creative peace in a violence-free environment."

 

How 'bout I keep my "violent games", and buy said produce (the "trade in") when I feel like it?

I'd do it.

 

I'll give them my brother's copies of L4D, Far Cry 2, and BF4 (ew) for ice cream.

Do these people even leave their political quarters to interact with society? Do they not see how stupid their programs are?

considering that the trade-in value for games at gamestop is pretty aweful, I'd much rather trade in my old PS3 games for ice cream.

at least games like SOCOM 4 and Resistance with no trade in value that I won't play again.

hot dang, if I'd know I could have done something useful like ice cream with my copy of Duke Nukem Forever, I wouldn't have sold it.

why do so many good cases only come in black and white

Can I trade in Madden or NHL games? Duck Hunt? My Rock Band drum kit? What about violent DVDs and BDs? What if I'm lactose intolerant?
