So I have never seen Family guy or the Simpsons. I do feel that the video games with the graphics and violence on them shouldn't be seen or played by kids or adults. It is setting a double standard if you can play a game and its not suitable for kids. What happened to Atari games such as combat or space invaders. Me and my family growing up had countless hours playing these games together, I can't imagine playing playing grand theft auto with my kids now or with my parents back then.
You've never seen the Simpsons!!!??? Wow.

I don't believe there are any double standards when it comes to things adults can do as opposed to kids - there are simply some things that adults can do that kids should not. That is like saying I don't drive because, my kids don't. Just because i do something, doesn't mean that I am granting access for kids to do it as well. I will always see "R" rated movies, watch tv shows that are "MA", drink the occassional beer, and cuss when I hit my thumb with a hammer - that does not mean I would allow my kids to do any of these.
