Music, Games, and Movies are diffrent. It would cause more harm than good. The diffrence between the movies, music, and games is the the games are 9 times out of 10 Longer than any movie or music. With Just a Warning sticker on it wont do the game justis and will not show what's in a game. One of the things I always end up doing when I look at the back of a box is to see why it's rated that. How do you feel that if you are a parent that is buying a game for your 15 year old son and desides to get a game. You don't mind the bad langage that much but have a hot topic for violence. You buy the game and see that has a warning sticker in it and it had a nice cover no guns in the box. then when you get home and the son started to play it only to find out that it has gore, violence, and nudity. If the Universal Rating happend the parent would be mad that it did not have the information that they needed for a right choice. But with the ESRB's rating system they would look that he back see that it has all the things that smart parents would look for and get the 15 year old ether a puzzle game or a sports game maybe even a sims game...

DarkTetsuya: @GP I just fear for the safety of your fax machine cause you didn't post it :P

PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm
PHOENIXZERO: Because I was bored and channel surfing. =(

GRIZZAM PRIME: PHEONIXZERO, Why the hell are you watching CNN's sodomy butt baby(HLN)?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:53pm
Krono: @PHOENIXZERO: Would that be the AP story about how schools should teach 11+ year old how to avoid abusive datings relationships?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:34pm
PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:28pm
PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:24pm
PHOENIXZERO: CNN has wanted to be Fox Jr since Fox started spanking them in the ratings and Turner was removed from power.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:11pm
PHOENIXZERO: UGH, they have the CT AG on there... He sounds like Jack.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm
PHOENIXZERO: >_> You can call in 1-800-TELL-HLN.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm
PHOENIXZERO: CNN HLN is doing a segment on Beer Pong with their other "morality" blowhard Mike Galanos.

Jabrwock: This just in! Jack insults someone. News@11

mogbert: I think we can skip that story, we can't cover JT every time he insults someone, we would run out of server space...
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:43pm
gamepolitics: nah, intentionally didn't post that... it's just a publicity grab... I only have so much JT tolerance, save 4 more relevant news
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:57pm
Xlorep DarkHelm: Dennis doesn't post every little tidbit of information about Whacky-Jacky.
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:52pm
DarkTetsuya: freak4all: I just posted that ... but yeah they did
Posted 07/08/08 at 01:41pm
Freak4all: kotaku beat GP to WackoJack news? http://kotaku.com/5022949/thompson-calls-judge-raving-wild-woman-unhinged

Dark Sovereign: Yes, sadly, that does hold true in many cases.
