A mandatory rating system will "prevent people from inadvertently stumbling across pornographic images on the Internet," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said at an event in Alexandria, Va.

are tv ratings a law? because i know that movie ratings are -not- a law. i’m not against ratings in general. but making it a law is kind of unprecedented, isn’t it?
