"This Movie Is Not Yet Rated" pulls back the curtain on the secretive MPAA movie ratings board, moral "experts" determined to protect little Johnny from pubic hair and bad language.
  • Just dump all ratings above "R"

    No matter what they are called: "X", "NC-17", or the suggested "A" for "Adult" trumpted by people like Roger Ebert to remove the stigma of the first two ratings.

    "But, but," you ask, "then children might see something that should be rated 'X', something no child should see!"

    Maybe they will, but that will be the parent/guardian decision. Shouldn't parents have the final decision on what their minor child sees anyway?

    Oh noes! Parents will actually have to put forth some effort into parenting!
