Not personally, but the fuss they make about games. It is scientifically proven that only a minority of kids is disturbed by games, of which about 90% is mentally incorrect. When i want to buy an M (which is 16+ in my country) game (NOTE: The good ones, ie HL2, and other sorts, like CoH) I have to take one of my parents to the computer store. It's hard to even bring back an M game without bringing your parents. All in all, i like Digital distributing more. Something like steam, which delivers the game, and doesn't ask any questions. This is safe, because you can know anyone with a creditcard is at least 18, or has parental permission. I hate the ESRB. Not personally, but the fuss they make about games.

Kids under 16 can still buy LP-rated games, but such a purchase legally forfeits his parents' reproductive rights to the government, which will sterilize them in the name of public safety. I call that a win-win situation. We only need two ratings: E for everyone and LP for Lazy Parenting.
