LOL, you mean she didn't see the giant "M" on the box? Holy crap, but still, that must've been interesting XD. I wonder how far you actually got into the game, lol. A friend of mine (whom loved the Rare games) enjoyed it, though I don't remember if he played it as a kid or not.
My mom hated The Simpsons from the very first episode, but she tolerated it for years (because Dad countered her about it or something) until sometime in the mid-2000s when she finally put her foot down and banned it from the house and got rid of everything-Simpsons related we had. By then, I had gotten bored of the show, so I didn't complain. The thing that really gets to Mom the most is nudity, though language is iffy as well. For years, we had the V-chip on (it wasn't activated until I was in elementary school I think, though), and I think all TVs still come with the V-chip, but my parents got too lazy to activate it, since it honestly did get annoying.
She's really the most strict when it comes to cartoons, she really hates how cartoons aimed at children will sneak things in, though I don't remember her objecting to it as a kid. Probably because things were more subtle back then than they are now (which is one of the reasons why I can't stand a lot of children's cartoons these days next to the fact they tend to insult the child's intelligence).
