The MPAA uses those ratings: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PG13#Ratings)

- G     (General Audience - all ages admitted)
- PG    (Parental guidance suggested - might not be suitable for children))
- PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned - might be inappropriate for < 13 years)
- R     (Restricted - < 17 years requires parent or adult guardian)
- NC-17 (No children under 17)

Basically, we could introduce this ratings as tags on [[Activities]]. 
Xo-get could list only 'G'-rated Activities by default, and users can 
then 'enable' all other somewhere in the application (preferences, ...).
