That last point did remind me though...

'Warning - contains mild peril'
'Warning - contains moderate slapstick and mild threat'

Damn, who are we protecting from such terrifying cinematic trauma?

'Mummy mummy, he said bum, then fell off a ladder into a paddling pool full of custard!'
'Oh the horror, we must leave right now and get you booked into a course of intensive therapy'

To all concerned parents, U means it really is ok for kids, honest. PG means you might like to be careful, but its probably ok. If you're making your choices based on mild peril, then ah hell, I ain't saying anything, because you'll obviously listen to ANY advice, and then try to sue me!

Besides which, if your darling child is 12 ish, there's a good chance they've already tried knives , guns, sex and heroin, if you believe the media, I dont think a talking squirrel will faze them too much.

Having said that, warnings on games, they ARE there for a reason, I only state this because in my years of selling them, too many times I ended up explaining the drugs/guns/hookers/cop killings of GTA and the like to parents of 8 year old kids, to be confronted with, 'ah well, he wants it and its his birthday money, and its only a computer game.'

Bye then!

PS. my PC needs a full reinstall, so I may off for a while, hence the binge posting, heh, why did I bother typing this, I disappear for months at a time without saying anything anyway!
