The ESRB Rating

A question about Spore’s ESRB rating popped up in the latest GameSpy mail bag.

Ben: …how in the world will the ESRB be able to rate the game?

Li C. Kuo: …considering how recent events with Oblivion and other games have panned out, it’s difficult to predict how the ratings board will react to a game like Spore.

You’ve got to read the entire question and answer for yourself. I deliberately left out big chunks of it since it portrays a very, let’s say, vivid imagination from the inquirer.
