Hilary's Bitch. They protect the world's children from games and pixilated nipples that weren't supposed to be in their hands anyway.

Group that was VOLUNTARILY founded by game publishers to reduce the political heat generated by violent games. Does NOT mandate the sales of M rated games to minors, retailers do. The ESRB's flaw is that the panel's of reviewers who watch footage of games are almost entirely non-gamers. Also, the rating levels are a bit hipocritical if you know how to walk the line.
(Lots of violence can be had in a T rated game, but blood almost certainately guarantees a M rating. Much like the MPAA's hipocracy of rating a film R after the second "fuck" or when used to mean sex.)

Ratings
Board.
An organization of people who rate games based on how old you are. Their ratings are put on games to give a person and/or parent an idea of what's in the game and whether it's appropriate for people of a certain age. The ratings always come with details. Their ratings consist of C for early childhood, E for everyone, E10 for everyone 10 and up, T for teen, M for mature, And Ao for adults only. Sometimes there will be an RP rating, this stands for Rating Pending. This organization was founded because of the blood and gore of the first mortal kombat game

A bunch of goddamn heroes. The only thing standing between the videogame industry and governmental regulation -- and yet hated by gamers and developers alike.
But the truth is ... they're the heroes gamers deserve. But not the ones we need right now. So we'll flame them. Because they can take it. Because they're not our heroes: They're our silent guardians; our watchful protectors. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board.

Example:
"I hate the ESRB! I just want to play Grand Theft Auto and fuck bitches and shit! Why they gotta be triflin all up in my game?!"
"Timmy brush your teeth, it's bedtime."
"AW BUT MOM"
