ESRB Adds New 'Tween' Rating

The Entertainment Software Rating Board announced yesterday that it was adding a new category to the entertainment software rating format. The new "E10+" "would mark games that might contain moderate amounts of cartoon, fantasy or mild violence, mild language and/or minimal suggestive themes." This puts the category between "E" and "T", and allows for racing games with violent crashes and superhero violence.

Fair enough. Of course, the still begs the fact that Tolkien coin the term for reference to hobbits, and we're using it in terms of humans. With that frame of reference, the modern interpretation wins.

In other news, Bin Laden has decided that some Americans are only 80% immoral and only deserve to die a quick, semi-painless death. This will do good for women who leave their foreheads uncovered and kids who's souls have been doomed to Hell for eternity after seeing arrays of pixels on tv screens that may resemble blood or forbidden satanic evil sacrilegious body parts, as these people would have otherwise been executed in an excruciating manner for their sins.

And now here's Tim with the weather.
