Does change if it involve gays?

Do they fill in different colors depending on the discrimination involved?

The Evanescence Live CD contains "fuck." It doesn't sport a parental advisory warning. For some reason, Wal-Mart is to blame. Just like they were to blame when Rockstar put out GTA VC/3. Ignoring the fact that the ESRB ratings and parental advisory warnings are both voluntary, and Wal-Mart shouldn't have to screen in-depth for content.

"I'm not educated enough to know that what the industry deems acceptable might not be what I deem acceptable."

Meanwhile, even with a stronger warning system, the question of content can't be broken down four or five words on the back of a game box. However, it's not that hard to pick up a magazine or look at reviews online. You'll get a far better idea of what your kid is getting into than if you simply saw "violence" on the back of a box.
