I can't see that it would have any positive benefit at all.

Furthermore, I am very concerned about the creeping nanny-state-ism that pulls the decision making power away from parents buying for their children and individuals buying for themselves and says, in effect, the government knows best by regulating and rating books, films, websites etc.

I would type more, but I'm frothing at the mouth over this, and it's starting to drip onto the keyboard...
