Especially with the recent rise in enforcing the 'R' rating for movies, hopefully we'll see a rise in the enforcement of video game ratings as well.

And that's where the self-policing falls down. Movie theaters, thirty years after the creation of rating standards, are just now starting to police themselves. The ESRB has been around for 10 years now, and is nearly to where the MPAA is as far as rating many games.

But, like the MPAA, there are a plethora of titles which opt not to get a rating, for any of a number of reasons: financial, practical, or idealistic.

I think Jack's goal is to get the USA to follow the path of less freedom-loving nations by banning all materials from the country which don't agree with his religious outlook. Although I personally prefer not to view those materials, banning something in the name of religious standards in the Land of the Free would be a horrible mistake.
