Every parent knows how popular video games are these days, but perhaps not as many are familiar with the tools that can help them select games that are appropriate for their children. Just as with all media, we urge parents to be as involved and informed as they can. The ESRB ratings are informational and help parents to make sensible video game choices for their families. |

I really don't mean to be rude because I know how hard being a parent is, but moms and dads today are so stupid. Are they blindfolded when they buy these games? Seriously, you can look at the back of the game case for 10 seconds and figure out if a game has violence or not. If it takes a campaign by the ESRB to explain to parents "You can just look at the pretty colors on the box, you have to read the box" then America is in trouble.

I fully agree with you. A part of the population is becoming more and more mentally retarted every day.

perhaps even the laziest parents will start to realize that video games aren't all kid's stuff. I hope this campaign helps!
art looks like penny arcade.
reminds me of when Marge Simpson told Bart to clean his room or she'd delete all his playstation save games off of his memory card... "how do you know about stuff like that???"

violence in video games in no way encorage's real life violence no matter how young or how violant the game is.
If violence in video games dous anything it stops kids from fighting and bringing guns to school. Violant games is a release of all tention in the brain and this teach's you how to release tention when your older Witch would prevent killing cutting shooting or any other type of violence on other people .
ESRB are the the people causeing kids to do violant acts. There increaseing anger stress and sadness in kids when they cant play a game they want. The emotions find a way out and thats usually through violence.
ESRB is a menace to entertainment everywhere and they should be brought down before they cause any more uneeded deaths.

Try this, insead of going by age, go by IQ or maturity, so parents that have retard kids cant give their kids rated R for Retarded, and smart kids that know better can get N for (not stupid enough to do what they do it the game) im not trying to offend anybody, but if you have a kid that is getting D's in school, thats the kinda kid that will kill his family after playin a bit of GTA....
i know when i Eventualy have kids, thats exactly what i will do....
Son(age, 13 - grades, b average): can i get GTA?
Me: yes
Son (age, 15 - Grades, failing Freshmen hs year) how about me?
ME: sorry, i dont want you to start killing everybody
(im sorry if this offended anybody)
