Is there anything that the intertubes can't do?

I guess that it's a good idea that the Massachusetts house voted to outlaw Internet hunting (Mass. House Votes To Ban Internet Hunting - News Story - WCVB Boston), but I also have to give a tip of the hat to the folks who figured out how to do this. It's no small accomplishment that they'd be able to set up guns and cameras in places where people would find something to hunt, hook that apparatus to a web application, and let people hunt from the comfort of their own homes.

Note: I spent a few minutes looking around for a site that offered this service, but wasn't able to find one. It looks as though some of the sites that might be gateways are using IP filtering to block access from certain geographical regions. It's not worth the additional time to dig deeper.
