Whilst it doesn't bode well, I think we should hold our opinions until we actually find out what the report is about ;)

"It seems that ABC News has something in the works regarding how adults view M-rated games in relation to their teens."

"It's jus' one o' them thar new-fangled toys, eh?"

Hopefully they feature intelligent parents and not the morons. But knowing the news, they'll go for publicity and sensationalism by appealing to the lowest common denominator without any rebuttal.

Go read "Foley Is Good", Ch. 5 pg. 53-57.... beardoggx April 4 2006, 12:34:44 UTC

...for a prime example of how ABC News really works.

You just pointed out a problem here... It's not if the kid is mature enough to deal with it (I know I was when I was 15 years old too) but what parents thinks kids should deal with. And the Banning Team parents don't know enough about their kids to know if they're mature or not.
