Geez relax dude... It's just a naked virtual animal. It's not like it's porn or sex or anything.
I simply don't understand how you feel that a naked virtual animal is more "dangerous" for children than constant murder and death.

I hope noone has the opinion that murder is bad then. That would be the end of global screenies from hunters.

Actually
EU does. You have to be 13 yo, and unless you have your parents acceptance, you have to be 18 yo.

That would be the best thing that could happen for
MA.
If
EU gets huge amounts of publicity in US, LOADS of people will check it out. Especially if the media keeps mentionning nudeness and other such words.
Maybe that's even the reason
MA created the Boorums

I wouldn't mind a warning of 'virtual animal nudity' at all, if
MA/
EF gave such a warning...
But I sure find it utterly unnecessary.
Oh.. And nice post, Pinky. I'd +rep you again if I could.
