It may be allowable by MSRB standards, but a lot of games choose to avoid it because of the media. Among the older, non-gamers who run and participate in much of the media, there is still this idea that "games are for kids." A lot of parents think this way too, and will simply buy any game for their kid off the shelf without a second thought. One day they walk by and see their kid staring at animated boobs on a screen, and in a raging panic call up the news stations. Then you'll get the headlines like "Game companies forcing pornography on America's children."
But I don't remember those headlines regarding Heavy Rain's shower scene?
But, yes there are plenty of morons out there. There are also too many parents that don't pay a lick of attention to what their kids are doing. I was in a Game Stop and some dad walks up with his obviously 10 to 12 year old son and sets GTA4 on the counter. The clerk and I look at each other, the dad, and we both say at the same time "you're not buying that for him?!?!" Dad asks, "Why?" So, we explain to him exactly what you can and are expected to do in that game all while his little darling son is staring at us with a seething hatred. We finish our explanation and Dad looks at his boy and says "You're NOT getting this!" and preceded to put it back. There's one parent educated. Now we just need to clue in the other 100,000,000...
