Fashion Fab: NC-17 Never Looked So Fun
To the right is the front (left side) and back (right side) of today's current Woot.Shirt which displays in easy to understand pictures all the different US ratings. Granted it's for movies and not videogame games, but that's just semantics, what you have to realize is that while all the pictures on the front have to do with violence, the big one on the back has to do with NC-17 sexual content, which in this case appears to be a male mouse and male cat putting down their violence and putting together their lips. I mean the slight resemblance to Itchy and Scratchy alone is enough to buy it with just the front of the t-shirt, but like many things we choose to pursue, the backside definitely seals the deal.
This shirt being the shirt of the day today means you can snag it for only $10 if you hurry. But if you are late to the game, they'll have it back up on their reckoning charts for at least a week for you to pickup at $15. While it might not have much to do with gaming, it does have everything to do with how we like our entertainment. At the same time it does raise the question of why sexuality in the US is one of the few things that'll give you an NC-17 rating, but that's more something for the comments section to talk about.

Reminds me of the Itchy and Scratchy Christmas special were they finally kiss.
that's great. if you've seen or read cellophane closet then this should come as no surprise. such a good shirt graphic, though I'd never wear the shirt, except may be to bed with my big cat boyfriend.
It's funny because it's true. Especially for gay sex. If you take a PG-13-level scene of a guy and a girl having sex under the covers in the missionary position and swap the girl for a guy laying on his stomach, it's an automatic NC-17. Seriously, does anyone even do it under the covers like that in real life? It gets uncomfortably warm.
Uh, anyway, yeah, totally bought one.
