Movies like Saw, Hostel should join Manhunt 2 on blacklist, says Jew York Times
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/25/arts/25manh.html?ei=5088&en=ec4fd372982463d3&ex=1340424000&adxnnl=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1182795068-Z5i6Ykvcdx5EAUL6ZvwFuw">The article in question.</a> [quote name="Seth Schiesel"]But after playing [Manhunt 2] I found the Adult Only rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board, an independent industry group, entirely reasonable. The rating essentially killed Manhunt 2, because Sony and Nintendo have said they won’t allow AO games on their systems.[/quote] [quote name="Seth Schiesel"]Banning the original version of Manhunt 2 may be a good way to demonstrate that the industry can police itself. Side by side, though, [Saw II] seem[s] to be way ahead of [Manhunt 2] in delivering top-notch gore.[/quote] Games like Manhunt 2 should be banned, even though movies like Saw II are even more extreme. I guess this means someone needs to ban those too? Opinions like these are why I'm glad heebs like Seth aren't in control of the government and the media. I think the MPAA and ESRB need to do away with the R and M ratings. Any movie or game more objectionable than Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver should get an NC-17/AO and only responsible adults of seventeen or even EIGHTEEN years should be permitted to buy them by state or corporate law. That way, those who object to ANYONE, ANYWHERE, EVER seeing a man dance naked, penis flopping about, for a FULL MINUTE or more can make the argument that I'm not mature enough to handle such a sight and leave the poor impressionable starving kids with no health insurance out of it.[/quote]
