If no video game is too violent to sell to a minor, then how can any x-rated film be too sexually explicit to sell to a minor?

[Joe Rice]

Because violence =/= sex.

Because violence =/= sex.

So exposing kids to brutal violence, murder, torture, etc is okay, but exposing them to sex is bad?

YIKES!

Which isn't at all what he said.

They're two different things. Not really that hard to figure out.

It's been very obvious for a very long time that our society is more accepting of violence compared to sex.

Plus, video games are not the same as movies.

Your comparison is just completely wrong.

In this lies a large problem with American society. People line up to see SAW 16 or Hostel Part 5, but a film like Blue Valentine is met with mass resistance due to a scene of healthy sexuality.

You know one thing that really disturbs me, these so called children "cartoons". More like terrorists training videos. There is one "cartoon" entirely dedicated to the capture and murder of an innocent road runner. A sadistic, blood hungry coyote stalks and plots the murder of this creature for no apparent reason other than to torture and mutilate him. The coyote uses every weapon imaginable, from small arms all the way up to weapons of mass destruction. All of which children see and can now mimic.

Another "cartoon" follows a perverted, stalking, rapist skunk every week in his attempt to capture and molest another innocent creature. So this is what we are going to get if we allow children to watch these shows, this is what will become of the future generation of our country. Rape Terrorists.

But seriously, yay for common sense prevailing here. It's not the government job to do the parenting for you, California, you giant nanny state.

Pepe Le Pew isn't a rapist.
....
He never successfully raped anybody, he just has several counts of attempt.
