I really appreciate the rating system. It can be iffy at times but usually does it's job of letting parents know if a movie is appropriate for their family. And it also serves as a good defense for movie companies against overzealous parents who would try to blame a movie over their poor parenting skills.
What is very interesting to watch right now is the rating system of video games. Over a span of roughly twenty years video game ratings have been a very hot topic. From the controversy of Mortal Kombat to the recent uproar over RockStar's Manhunt2, the debate over appropriate and inappropriate content in video games has been as viscous and gruesome as some of the most violent video games out there.
