Funny thing is movie ratings aren't laws, moran.

So if a ten year old kid sees the movie, and the parents complain to some authority (congressman, cop whatever) the cinema can just say 'it's just a guideline'? There are no repercussions? Would that hold true if the ten year old saw a pornographic movie in a cinema?

Oh, and  i know what you mean when you say moran



It never grows old  ;D




RayB:
I believe only the X rating has any sort of law associated with it. It might not even be a direct "cinema" related law, but indirectly you'd be guilty of corrupting a minor or something to that effect.

And of course, this varies by country, state/province, etc

If I remember it correctly, the repercussions come from the mpaa who will stop anyone from sending their movies to theaters who do not enforce the ratings system.

I think I read that there really was an X rating but that the MPAA didn't trademark it so it was heavily used by the porn industry (without MPAA approval) to promote their films.  That could be ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.  NC-17 is sort of the response.  It's been around only since the mid to late 90's if I remember right.
