*grumble* I hope this dies in Committee. It's silly. Allowing user-made content to influence a game's rating is ridiculous. It would be like rating a Harry Potter movie "X" because I could rent it, shoot some porn, splice it into the movie, and return it to Blockbuster/Netflix, etc.

Video games are the new Evil That Will Corrupt Our Impressionable Youth. In the 1950s it was rock n' roll, then it was TV, and now it's video games.
