"What do you watch on TV?"
I rarely do watch TV. I'm just too busy with things I can do on the computer-- chatting, audio editing, posting, stopmotioning, Macromedia Flash animating, plenty of stuff.
The few things I do watch on TV are The 4400, Stargate (SG1/Atlantis), and a host of documentaries (most concerning engineering feats). I admit, the two television shows I watch more often aren't free of violence, but for the most part, they avoid being gorey. As for Stargate, it's had its share of "romantic" parts, but not explicit, sexual themes. No, I don't watch MTV or its counterparts, whatever they may be. Why on Earth would I want to?

"What do you watch on TV?"
I don't watch TV. At all.
My parents don't want me to, and I have no particular desire to, either. Video games and the occasional movie are enough for me. I'm OK with movies like The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, and certainly have nothing against The Passion of the Christ, though I've never seen it; none of these movies are gore-fests, and while the last is very graphic, it is for a good reason. Anyway, the bottom line is that I don't watch TV for the very reasons that I don't play M-rated games or T-rated games (except for SSBM).

"No, Mario Kart NEEDS blood and gore and guns and explosions!"
Something is seriously wrong with you. I suggest you go see a doctor.
Mario Kart is fine the way it is. I find its family-friendly nature and colorfulness to be great. Anyone who thinks Mario should be taken to THAT level, (i.e., guns, blood, gore, death) must check into the nearest insane asylum ASAP.
Teen games, ha ha hah. In Australia, SSBM was rated G8+. That means it is suitable for people 8 YEARS OLD or over! I'm liking these games, it shows Nintendo isn't all suited to little kids. And on another note, this proves that the rating of games is messed. It's messed where I live because the OFLC(the Office of Film and Literature Classification) won't give us an R18+ rating, and therefore games are being cutback(gameplay being removed)or are most likely getting banned.
