Well, it's sad, but as a directory, I suppose it's something you have to 
deal with. Some ideas...

I wouldn't go with G, PG, X type ratings... As mentioned, 'adult' 
doesn't always mean X, etc. Perhaps following the iTunes model of 
marking things as 'mature' or 'explicit' or whatever might work.

For people not logged in, I would filter out all 'mature' content. For 
people who are logged in, provide a checkbox for whether they want 
'mature' content displayed to them or not. Don't the various search 
engines do something similar with the results they display?

There's a distinction between 'porn' and 'kid-safe' - I mean, if it's a 
video of someone fully clothed, screaming obscenities and being violent, 
it's probably not something I want my kids to see. (And I *definitely* 
don't want them seeing porn.)

I've noticed a few podcasters will often note in the beginning of their 
podcast if it's 'not safe for work' which usually means it contains 
obscenities or mature subject matter. Could videobloggers do the same? I 
know that I'm sometimes not even sure if I should want videos in FireANT 
when my kids are in the room.
