Scribblenauts has the greatest ESRB rating summary ever photo

From time to time, those of us with way too much time on our hands like to peruse (see: troll) the ESRB's Web site for whatever information we can find. This comes in the form of XBLA/PSN games being revealed early, plot spoilers, and the occasional hilarious rating summary.

Scribblenauts falls under that last one. For the full summary, which was spotted by GoNintendo, simply click here. Otherwise, here's the simplified version:

"If multiple words are entered in a sequence, different whimsical scenarios can be triggered: a bicycle can be used to jump over a baby; a bulldozer can clear away a shark; and cabbage can be fed to dinosaurs."

Continuing, the ESRB makes it clear that "These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man)."

"If players wish to, they may type in the word vomit, which causes a beige-colored lump to appear on the screen." Oh the humanity! Won't someone think of the children?

@taumpytears: I heard in some interview at E3 that when someone wrote in "Scribblenauts" a copy of the game appeared in the game. Whoa.

"Win game" is not a noun.

Also, best ESRB rating ever.
