So true. Anyone who has worked at Gamestop knows this too well.
The ESRB people seem to be, very efficiently, douches about everything, although when you buy the game it seems to be the other way around.
“ZOMG NOAH – It’s rated T?” “Hmm lets see why.. “Mild Violence”
Thats an actual scene from my life.
You know you have to be 17 to play T rated games?
Ever heard of Cameo? Yeah that shapeshifting fairy game? Rated T.
Cleavage actually isn’t in that many games, but the very few such as tomb raider.. boy.. WHAT ARE THOSE.. TRUCK TIRES?!
Nah, you’re thinking of M games.
Usually when kids hit 13 they’ve seen enough to be able to view those games.
13? Pfft, I’ve played T games at ten
My parents actually had a bigger problem with language than anything else
I never let my kids see Al Gore. You do mean Al Gore, right?
Comment win
Just saw Aliens vs. Monsters with my kid. I died laughing when the one dude said the world felt warmer and he referenced a “convenient truth”. My daughter thinks I am crazy.
Comment on Comment win.
Comment on comment on– wait, what?
Comment on Comment on Comment FAIL.
How do these kids see language?
I believe it is called transcript or text i.e written language
I don’t live in the USA so we have subtitles
We have subtitles in the US to.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this!
you fail
OMG! Did you see what he said?!
Because to some people nudity is offensive. Also, eventually kids will grow up and not need that anymore.
Technically when you grow up you’re not a kid anymore so contradiction of logic.
It’s only offensive because we MAKE It offensive.
who?
FISRT

You forgot the worst one of all: TEH GAYZ!!
Seriously. More parents were riled up by the boy-on-boy kiss in Bully than all of the blood and killing in first-person shooters.
oh, god forbid.
you wouldn’t want your kids to get any *ideas*, now would you?
that was sarcasm, obviously.
comment win. XD
Reply win?!?
hmmmm… this chart is completely backwards… my parents didnt care when my 8 yr old brother found the playboy channel and he still watches it every day
Your family sounds pretty messed up, then.
Messed up? His family sounds awesome!
The PLAYBOY channel? WTPH!
johnny, the governments banned all violent television, what shall we do now?
MURDER PEOPLE.
That’s my grandson. always full of good ideas.

Holy crap, it’s been so long since I’ve seen that cartoon. fat-pie.com is great.
I don’t have a substantial problem with people seeing pornographic stuff. The problem I have is that more often than not, pornographic stuff objectifies only women, not men. So all in all I would say, yeah, sensor it all, because it isn’t equal. All it does is teach people that women are sex objects and men are not. If it were equal, I could care less if it were censored or not.
totally agree.
ya after reading that i would most definetly have to agree.
*raises hand* Woman who agrees with this comment.
My sex drive is just as high, if not higher, as that of my boyfriend.
It makes life more fun.
You’re not reading the right material, I’d say;)
There’s plenty of objectified men in porn but it does depend on where you go to see it. Really, the way Playgirl is these days, it’s like a Teen Bop magazine with nudie shots. I’d find that more offensive, you can’t even say you’re reading it for the articles with that trash!
I think you misunderstood her comment. She didn’t say porn was bad, she said the unequal nature of a lot of porn is bad. Yes, women have sex drives, and that’s why it’s so frustrating that most of the media portrays us as having no sex-drive, and only there to satisfy a man’s sex-drive.
Even in non-pornographic media, for instance, why are there no music videos with half-naked men? (Except maybe a Lady Gaga video)
Well, the graph matches my observation 99%. I shook my head when a visitor from the USA calmly let her pre-schoolers sit thru most of “Terminator”, having no apparent problem with Arny wreaking havoc left and right. Then the two heroes make love. Not gratuitous cheap booby shots, but actually fitting in the flow of the story. She freakin’ hit the ceiling and turned it off immediately.
OMG I SEE LANGUAGE!! MY EYES!
To be fair, I’ve seen quite a lot of subtitles that are blanked out to spare little kiddies (and uptight parents) from the horror of reading naughty words
I’m guessing a female nipple wouldn’t have fit on the chart.
I’m not one of those people who thinks there shouldn’t be ANY control over what shows up on TV, but it seems illogical that, no matter how non-sexual or natural the context, female nipples simply do not exist on most American television (other than cable, of course). What’s the deal? Is it that milk comes out of them? Milk also comes from goats, but you don’t hear anyone complaining about goats ruining their children’s innocence.
Good point. I have seen a lot of udders on TV. BAN COW PORN NOW.
On a serious note, it amazes me how uncomfortable people are with their own bodies…
Hmm, this chart does not apply for most european countries
Yeah, I think this is very America-geared. Here, we can show as much violence on TV as we want, but no sex.
And then we wonder why so much of our country has a stick up their butt.
Like, violence is ok but don’t have sex. Even better not to have sex because sexual frustration can lead to violence. Yay!
it’s a bit ridiculous.
SO definitely agreed.
I am in Germany and I´d say here it would exactly be the other way round, but with no graph going so high
I agree with this. Hell, my parents always try to make me close my eyes when they show breasts, or during that scene in silence of the lambs where Buffalo Bill does the whole mangina thing.
Just watch what parts of yourself you keep them to in public.
Lots of parents are more ashamed of their sexual natures than they should be, and censor that most of all due to that shame. (Or consideration of religion…you choose which is the correct statement for you.)
However, in my case, I’m just trying to keep down exposure to something my child can access day-to-day. He’s got ENOUGH hormones active. That one’s an active threat with a lot of consequences, that can be spurred by visualizations!
Cursing, eh, it happens so often, in so many realms, that you can’t really avoid that one, so I teach tact.
In my realm Blood/Gore are synonymous. Generally don’t have one without the other, somehow. ^_^ And most of the time, that’s in ‘make-believe land’, so it’s non-threatening to day to day life.
ROFLMAO, I’m so using that on my kid.
Sweety, that argument would have more validity, if you could actually spell the REAL words you’re attempting to use.
I say settle down on the cursing until you can actually use the language correctly first.
in terms of graphs… this is a poorly made graph.
You can’t see language, silly
you’re reading the English language, right now, actually.
Kill some people, US, OK.
Make new people, US, NOK.
Spells hypocrisy.
