The classic Road Runner cartoons have been censored beyond the point of help.
I would no longer consider them violent in any way.  There is more violence on

Atlantis, described by Plato, was really the Minoean civilization (please pardon
my spelling) - sorry, no continent (despite what LucasArts wants you to believe)

> The self imposed ratings listed on game boxes are more than good enough.

They have the same effect as movie ratings - if a film is rated PG I'm scared to
