I don't really care, since the ratings don't matter anyway. There is no enforcement on the rating system in the US, and even if a store doesn't sell to youngins they cry to their parents to buy it for them.
And most of the parents do.
My friend worked at Gamestop, and this 9 year old wanted Doom 3. (You can tell where this is going). So the child got his mom to buy it for her, and when they were checking out, my friend explicitly told her that the game was very violent, gory, and bloody, and probably shouldn't be bought for her child.
The mom ignored these comments, bought the game, and left.
The next day, she came in raving about how an employee had sold her child the most violent bloody gruesome game ever invented, without warning her.
Not to be a dick, but it's ranting. Ranting is what she did. Raving is what we do about ODST, positive things to say.
As for your post...wow. What a jerk. I can just picture it too. Heheh. And fortunately, any mother of a 9 year old can know that the game she bought for him isn't full of excess gore like some games *cough*Gears of War*cough*. But it does have Language, minor Innuendo, and Violence. Not to mention the purple and orange blood of the Covenant. But at least it's not like Halo 1 where you could paint an entire area with the blood of 1 dead Grunt.
