Yeah, I checked that out, and couldn't believe that's the only distinction
between "M" and "AO".
The Brits have the right idea - the game should have been marked 18+ from
teh get-go. Forget this "AO" thing - too many people are going to
automatically assume "adult" means nothing but porn.

Or maybe the ESRB just isn't as comprehensive as we thought they were..?
Do you think they play every game - following every conceivable
path/combination to ferret out any hidden/easter egg type infractions?
Somehow, I think the ESRB puts in less time per title than a burned out
professional game reviewer.
