"This incident raises the disquieting possibility that the MPAA considers exposure to Christian themes more dangerous for children than exposure to gratuitous sex and violence," [House Majority Whip] Blunt said in a letter to MPAA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan Glickman.
CNN.com - Christian film's PG rating troubles Congress - Jul 3, 2006
Desperately seeking something disquieting to campaign on, the Rs in the House have seized upon the case of a "Christian-themed" movie about a football coach that received a PG rating from the MPAA. The movie did, that is. Not the coach. And threw in a little gratuitous sex and violence to spice things up. The Rs did, that is. Not the coach. The coach is just along for the ride.But the MPAA claims the PG rating was due to "a mature discussion about pregnancy," something no kiddie should just happen upon, leaving the Rs to wonder what's so PG about a stork.
Meanwhile I'm just wishing the MPAA would add another rating to their already formidable list: GF, for "Grownups, Forgetaboudit."
By the way, why do they call them "whips," anyway? That sounds like a little gratuitous sex and violence right there.
