It’s not news that the Motion Picture Association of America movie ratings are bizarre.
There is an interesting rant on the subject over on www.tccandler.com. (see Why the MPAA Sucks! NSFW)
I was reminded of the fact with the recent re-release of The Kings Speech.
See, the original MPAA rating for The Kings Speech was ‘R’. This was due to a few “too many” instances of the F word (That’s “Fuck”, not “Foreign Policy”). Since the movie is so darn good, they decided to edit out the F words to get a MPAA rating of PG-13. You know, so that it’s more “Family Friendly”.
