"While about 80 percents of parents use the MPAA's ratings, the number drops precipitously for TV ratings, where as few as 39 percent of parents said they used them. When quizzed about the exact meanings of TV ratings, parents fared even worse, with only 18 percent recognizing that 'FV' in a TV rating had something to do with violence... and 5 percent understanding that 'D' stood for dialogue with sexual intent or innuendo."The rating systems can also have the adverse effect of increasing the appeal of a movie, TV show, or video game's appeal by adding the allure of being officially "off limits".
