silly parents. tricks are for kids.

Today's adults, through a miracle of intellectual dematuration, are dumber than your average 11-year-old.
All the games are rated for ages 17 and older. But despite the age ratings that restrict sales to kids, a lot of kids get around the ratings by slipping the games into their parent's shopping cart, knowing they won't review them at the checkstand.

And they say in some stores, the ratings get covered by price stickers.

The boys say parents like theirs who prohibit violent games at home forget about the games at their friends' house.
When I was (cough) a kid, I couldn't play video games (except for Duck Hunt or Tecmo Bowl at a friend's house) until my brother and I scrummed up enough cash to buy our own Super NES. What were our parents thinking?
