I also think that 80 years of the MPAA haven't deterred the release of hundreds of movies chockablock with sexually explicit or violent content. And with the rise of unrated DVD versions of films, directors and producers have another outlet for getting their complete "message" out. It's the way of life for a movie expecting wide release: there are hundreds of negotiations with dozens of parties. A very, very select few films are compromise-free. I'm not going to lose sleep over missing scenes in Orgazmo.
And does it really matter whether we know the home addresses or whatnot of the MPAA's board members? Publicity isn't going to change the process. As soon as most people hear that board members must have raised/had a child, they're going to be ok with the current set-up.
