enforcing the advisory by law might infringe the rights of the parents to decide what they can and can't expose their children to media wise (within reason).

for instance sale of alcohol to minors is prohibited, but parents can still opt to get their child a glass of wine (or a shot of Vodka if that's their culture) ocasionally - under parental supervision.

This is incorrect in terms of the US. There are still legal limits on what a parent can expose their child to. Willingly exposing a minor to pornography is considered "Contributing to the delinquincy of a minor", and is a crime. Likewise, for your alcohol case, that is not permitted either. Federal law stipulates at a minimum, a large fine to the parent for it. Many states do other things, ranging from suspending/revoking the parent's license, to up to a period of 10 years in jail. Some states even have ad programs reminding parents; one of the ones I remember is "Parents who host lose the most." (This was in a state where first offense was 90-day license suspension of all adults present in the house, in addition to the federal fine.)

QFT.  Sad sad truth.
