@JUG: First we need to look at the context. Usually when people talk about universal ethics, they take the modern western standards and ask if everyone shares them (in classic humanistic arts you're supposed to find an explanation to yes).
Instead of looking at the "high end", what should be looked at is the "low end" and find the lowest common denominator. This is where evolution comes into picture.
For humanists, the concept of universal ethics seems to be easy to grasp, but what they don't seem to be accept is, that their own ethics in reality are something you'd imagine a baboon having. Everything else is "flexible".
If we look at ethics as simply something "voluntary" that doesn't help you in evolution, then there's no universal ethics.
@tehkyle: Mario Bros. had classical music and you could put a pic of Mona Lisa to any game. Makes sense.
