The "people who know what's best for you" have been going after video games and their ratings system.

Now they're looking at movies.

I'd love to see their team of researchers at work.

It just annoys me that studies like this one are the reason Looney Tunes had their "violent content" edited out.

No word on when Pepe LePew will be classified as a rapist.

There are those that would argue that killing a player in a video game while they are mining = rape.
