Opinion: MADD shouldn’t be so mad about Beer Pong’s E rating
A Nintendo Wii game based on the drinking game Beer Pong has caused a bit of controversy with MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) due to its “Everyone” rating by the ESRB. As a result, developer JVGames has changed the game’s name to Pong Toss and, rather than making it the dry version of Beer Pong, changed the in-game use of root beer to water.
Well, here I am getting up on a soapbox to say two things.
First is that it doesn’t promote drinking unless it portrays one of the Mii’s drinking or orders you to drink.
Second is, why complain about it now…?
