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. Click the links above to

Could there be a link between teenagers' music and their sexual activity? It's very likely, say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. In a recent study, 711 9th-graders in the Pittsburgh area were surveyed about their sexual activity and what songs they listened to most. After adjusting for influencing factors such as race and age, the researchers concluded that those who listened to music with overly sexual or degrading lyrics were most likely to copy what they heard.
