Exactly. Combined with the fact that no movie DVDs even put the rating on
the front of the box, and many don't even list reasons for that rating,
this just seems like yet another instance of singling out video games
because they're somehow more evil or something.

Maybe they feel that video game covers are somehow more deceptive? Lord
knows I've often thought gotten games with titles like "hitman" and
"Killzone" confused with "Barney's fun-fun children's special."
