Censoship organisms (you can read video game rating boards if you so please) are beginning to step on each others' toes at least in the UK.
Here's what Mr. David Cooke of BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) has to say in timesonline.co.uk regarding the other censoring body (PEGI) :
“The trouble is that it is not clear who PEGI is,” [...]
“Administration is handled by the Dutch film regulator, who subcontracts to
a couple of blokes [the Video Standards Council] in Borehamwood.”
“Look at what happens in film - there are different cultural sensititives in
each country. The French give Tarantino films 12 certificates; I'd be out of
a job tomorrow if I did that. But the point is that there is no reason why
those cultural differences go to sleep when it comes to games.”
