The Coalition for Independent Ratings Services

is a non-profit organization that promotes independent ratings services.  We believe is crucial that the groups rating the movies, TV, video games, etc are not the same ones who are trying to sell those products to you.  Since they don't have a financial interest in any particular product, independent ratings providers can be much more objective.


The goal of this site is to be a "one-stop shop" for everything related to independent ratings systems and services.

CCFC: Stop Ads that Promote Violent Ads to Kids
Written by Dominic Perri

The Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood has asked both the FCC and FTC to take steps to stop ads that target children with commercials for movies with violent content (see the attached file for the CCFC comments to the FCC).

We applaud these efforts.  One of the most consistent comments we hear is parent's frustration about commercial content.  Even if they work hard to select a program they believe is appropriate for their children, they are often subjected to inappropriate commercials for violent films and video games, Viagra and beer.

Thats why we believe that TV viewers need to be given the power to block TV ads just as they can use the V-Chip to block unwanted program content.  Doesn't it just make sense?
