First Amendment FTW

On-topic: This doesn't mean anything to you and it never will, since you're not under 18 and since the idea of banning something is absurd after comicbooks in the 60's or whenever they did that burning thing.

Check out the movie This Film is Not Yet Rated. It's on Netflix instant, I think, or it was anyway. Ratings boards wield a lot of power to more than just kids even as is, and this would add to that considerably.

I'm not watching your propaganda documentary crap, Frogacuda.

Also, NO, THE GAS. Do gas stations still sell cigarettes and alcohol even though they could "slip up" and sell it to minors?

TFINYR is really good. You should watch it anyway.

I'm with Finch, here, in that I would never expect this to have any chance of having a tangible affect on my life.

this film is not yet rated was fun though

[Finch]

Okay, i'll watch it then.

The best part of This Film is Not Yet Rated is by far the reaction of the MPAA douchebags when he sends the movie in to be rated.

Touche. I'll grant you, that certainly seems like it should be a valid counterpoint, but in most jurisdictions, it's the clerk (or even the kid, if they used a fake ID) who pays the consequences, not the business. Thus no chilling effect to speak of. (So... should the old lady at the Walmart electronics counter face jail time/the loss of her life savings for selling little Billy one of them newfangled vidjergames? I'd like to think most people would call that absurd. We're talking about entertainment some parents find distasteful, not chemical substances long proven both addictive and harmful.)

I'm pretty sure it is legal to sell R-rated movies to minors. It's a self-regulated thing. The retailer makes the rule to not sell the movie, not the government.

That's how it should stay. We don't need shit like Japan has where CERO Z is enforced by law as "adult only". Leave enforcement to the stores.
If someone under 17 is mentally mature enough for DNF or Doom 4, let him have it. Age means jack in some cases.

BRAVO to the ruling.
