Video games are vulgarity, but Jackass 3D isn't.

... would that qualify as an implicit porn link? @ Malph

I don't know, but it's probably better to just get rid of it since it didn't add anything to my post anyway.

Hopefully this doesn't lead to another delay in releasing DNF. Although that would be funny, in a sad way.  ^*

If the people in charge believed the games were only played by ten year olds, they'd insist that games be made to target them, not that games with fairly innocuous content be reserved for older audiences.

Sorry to bring this one from so far back, but when people say "people believe that games are only played by ten year olds" I think they're talking about the average person/moral guardians, not the ratings boards. And the moral guardians who object to certain video games are clearly not happy with the current ratings system, or they wouldn't be complaining.

Also, they clearly have an influence disproportionate to their size, being an extremely Vocal Minority.

Edit: And by clearly I mean clearly from where I sit, which is far from objective/omnipotent.

I think the age ratings for games and films are fine. I think once a person is 18, they can deal with pretty much everything that is rated above that. However - why is there no age rating for books? I've read books that are far "worse" than certain films or games.

Because books were mainstream when the older Moral Guardians were born, so they accept them.

Remember, True Art Is Ancient.
