The big question is...is it?

I mean, in the US, we're very liberal with extreme violence and very conservative with sexuality. We have games featuring goring out ribs and ripping off limbs to beat people with them, yet if we see a nipple, we'll freak. And don't get me started on a penis.

I do think the ESRB is way too lenient with how it gives out ratings. I can't think of a time the "This is way too violent for an M" was crossed. Closest I can think of was Manhunt 2 having something being shoved up a man's ass, and even then, that was probably more sexual then violent.

Granted, I don't want a ban or something, but I would not mind the needless violence being toned down a bit, or some new rating like this being added or something. =/
