Well, it's not for the children's benefit, as you know very well;
it's to reassure parents that their little darlings won't read
anything naughty.  I can't remember ever seeing anything naughty
in _Garfield_, and I did not attempt to tell the filter I was
either a dog or an underage human.  Does the filter (did anyone
try?) actually bounce you if you say you are an underage human?
And what's to prevent you from lying to it?
