The ESRB Bites Back

Posted by Zonk on from the snap-grr dept.

Next Generation has an interview with ESRB president Patricia Vance, who is not taking the criticism of the Board lying down. From the article: "There are people who just don't believe in self regulation. They don't believe that an industry can regulate itself, even though there are plenty of examples of successful regulatory bodies out there, including the film business."

    The MPAA isn't operated by members of the movie industry. The ESA is, however, and thus isn't a reliably unbiased entity. Would you trust the drug companies to run the FDA? I wouldn't.

    Yeah, I think the next presidental election is going to be very interesting. The number one issue in the US is bad parenting. If your kid kills my kid it's your fault right? The parents in today's society want their government to protect them from other parents. Those of us who don't have kids are just caught up in the whirlwind.
