Totally not making this up and it actually proves the ESRB does play the games they issue ratings out to.
IGN: ESRB Talks Scribble
Scribblenauts is a Nintendo DS game where puzzles are solved by entering various words you can think of, the developer encourages you to think of anything. One such puzzle is getting a cat out of a tree, you write down any words that come to mind that will get the cat out and the means will appear.
Here are the sick minds of the ESRB at play:
I'm totally getting this game.

Here are the sick minds of the ESRB at play:
" This is a puzzle game in which players navigate a series of traps, puzzles, and enemies to collect stars scattered throughout the colorful levels. Players have the ability to summon different objects by writing/typing in the word (e.g., bike, spaceship, lion) and watching it come to life. 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. Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. 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). These triggered animations are minimally depicted and are usually accompanied by popping, musical sound effects; bright, star-shaped flashes; or small puffs of smoke. If players wish to, they may type in the word vomit, which causes a beige-colored lump to appear on the screen."
