MPAA has bent over on the PG13

There is no question, MPAA gave up all of its moral authority when it allowed this movie with 17 uses of the four letter slang for FORNICATION (yes, I would write the word *beep* but even IMDB has the sense to edit it out).

There was a documentary previously released with 42 uses of the F-word that also got rated PG-13.

They decided that the films message and purpose overroad the using of the F-word.

Seriously, all you uptight motherfckers need to pull that stick out of your a**.

the MPAA allows two *beep* in a pg-13 movie.

[–] blackcauldron 17 years ago

No, that's not true. Their own rules state that generally 1 use is okay (as long as it's not used in a sexual manner), anything over that would be rated "R". But, as we all know, there have been many, many films that have more than that, starting with early PG rated films that have multiple uses. I have no problem with any movie that is PG-13 for only language. So what if there's 17 uses? It's PG-13; can't teens this age handle it? This rating isn't meant for young kids.

no, it allows 1, and if you say MORE than that, you get an automatic R rating!!!

How about a bit of ultraviolence?

Rent had 2 in the song Tango Maureen and it was PG-13

Let's face it. MPAA gave this movie special treatment only because they were afraid Black people would go riot just like they always do when something doesn't go their way.

No its becuz it is based on the context in which it is used. the movie w/ 42 F words (Gunner Palace) used it in a non sexual way. If it used for or about sex more then 1-3 times it is rate R
