[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8462138, member: 18182"] I do! Some times labels are used by creators and/or corporations simply to CYA - Cover Your Arse! But they can certainly be useful. As a teacher, I use movie and TV ratings to help sift through appropriate videos to share with my classes. I have to also make sure that, despite the rating, a specific piece is still appropriate and useful. The more specific labels we sometimes get that list WHY a show is rated are even more helpful. Reviews on CommonSenseMedia.com, which are essentially warning reviews, are even more helpful. Same with music, I have to be careful of all media I use in the classroom. If I were a parent, I'd have similar uses for warning labels. In my personal life, movie and TV reviews are my go-to, rather than labels . . . . but part of my use of reviews is to gauge if the media has any themes that will trigger or upset me. I also sometimes find them useful in situations such as this. After purchasing [USER=15700]@Sacrosanct[/USER]'s fey monster book, an easy reference to which creatures might deserve a closer look is appreciated. A more detailed discussion on WHY certain creatures might be problematic would be VERY useful to me. The warning on the cover helps me decide if I should purchase this book in the first place, although it isn't a guarantee that I'll find the content useful, enjoyable, or appropriate to my tastes. Not every book necessarily needs a warning label, but I find them useful (in context). I doubt I'm alone on that. [/QUOTE]
