Maybe he'll push next to see his equally violent movies treated in similar fashion.

[Latrinsorm]

His equally violent movies are rated R, and minors are therefore already banned from purchasing tickets for them directly.

[Tolwynn]

MPAA ratings now carry force of law?

[Latrinsorm]

De facto, sure. I don't know of any specific local, state, or federal law that would penalize an employee or theater for selling tickets to unsupervised kids, but none of them do.

[Celephais]

The whole argument just comes down to shitty parenting.

[Warriorbird]

The ones that annoyed me most were the parents of tweens who left their kids in the theater and went to the rest of the mall.

I read an ESRB sponsored study a little while back that found that game retailers do a better job percentage wise enforcing the ratings than movie theatres.

I remember one family that insisted taking their five year old into 'The Hills Have Eyes' was 'Cool.' because he saw similar on tv.

I read an ESRB sponsored study a little while back that found that game retailers do a better job percentage wise enforcing the ratings than movie theatres.I will gladly accept these findings into hand (I am not sure what the antonym to out of hand is). I would even more gladly accept the cudgel of law backing them up.

This is so fucking retarded...

Yes video games should have age ratings on them.

Yes parents should choose if they want their child to play it or not

Yes I let my children play GTA, they gave me the codes for the airplane..

It's a hell of a lot better than getting home and going OMFG WHAT IS THIS I JUST LET MY KID PLAY?!?!?!

I also feel that all children should be trained early on with firearms and zombie games for the upcoming battle.
