While this not a Teen or Mature rated game turns out a childish one i cant see there is a point of argue as an Everyone rated game.

Why not? Day of the Tentacle is obviously inspired by saturday morning cartoons and last time I checked those were intended for kids. And Curse of Monkey Island looks a lot like a Disney cartoon. Yeah, those games included some references and implications that kids might not get, but that's even the case in a cartoon show like Animaniacs.
I haven't played Stacking so far so I can't say anything about the writing. But if it includes such heavy themes as the others have mentioned, then I don't think it's only or even mostly intended for the young ones...

By the way: Would you not bother reading Huckleberry Finn just because it was written for teenagers?

So, what're you saying? That games need to contain lots of swearing, nudity and graphical violence to be truly for adults? I don't quite follow...
