The Electronic Software Rating Board used some interesting language to describe the upcoming PSP title Dead or Alive Paradise, and has now had to explain the reasons behind it. It gave the game an M rating, but in the description used phrases like “creepy voyeurism,” “cheesy,” and “bizarre, misguided notions of what women really want.” Ouch. It also stated, “Paradise cannot mean straddling felled tree trunks in dental-floss thongs.”
Kotaku reports that the ESRB issued a statement to explain the descriptors. “The rating summary for Dead or Alive Paradise was posted to our website in error, and we have since replaced that version with the corrected one,” said ESRB spokesman Eliot Mizrachi. “We recognize that the initial version improperly contained subjective language and that issue has been addressed.” He went on to apologize for “what some could rightfully take to be subjective statements.”
