Some parents actually do use the ratings. A while ago, I was in an EB Games store and there was a mother in there with her 13 or 14 year old son to buy a game. She specifically told him that anything above a T rating was out of the question, and whenever he'd pick out a game, she'd ask the clerk about the title. So yeah, some parents do care about that kind of stuff. Although instead of having overly protective parents everywhere, I'd rather the world were full of well-adjusted kids who could separate fantasy from reality, but that's too much to hope for.
