I'm actually all for it. Some things are for kids and some things are for adults. If a rating system can help parents make sure their children have age appropriate materials then all the better. Now the risk is that it be used for censorship which I'm 100% against. If it's labeled correctly then there shouldn't be a need for censorship of any material, labeling things should actually remove the desire to censor things because the user can clearly see that this is/isn't the type of material they'd like to read. This works well for the video game industry. I played Gears of War 2 this morning and several times thought I was glad my 8 year old nephew wasn't playing...although I was having an absolute blast. ;-)
