It just seems to be for stuff like say GTA's more violent trailers and gameplay footage or trailers for movies with gorey, horrific and softcore themes.
Course, did we not enter our age into account details? I could be wrong (might not of, can't remember for sure)...One way or another, they have to find our age out...
*waits to hear about parents shrieking that their kid was seeing that stuff, even though it was the kid's fault for lying about their age*
A LOT of online media requires the user to be honest about their age:
Sites with porn, videos on Youtube, videos on Gametrailers, etc. They all ask for some sort of verification, be it an actual Birth Date, or just a confirmation that you are, in fact, 18+
Its really more about covering their asses (Saying: "Not our problem if they blatantly lie to us about their age"), than them caring about who views the vids...
Basically, and place that requires age confirmation, is just doing it so they won't be sued...if they made it more difficult (require some sort of ID), they'd lose genuine customers (such as moi), who don't have ID that confims age, or just can't be arsed...
That definitely suggests porn.
