I'm starting to see platevoltage's point. Yes it's additional information, but it is an indirect form of censorship.
Remove one more f-bomb and we'll give you that PG-13 rating you're wanting.
Food labels are easier to justify because they have a very tangible effect on one's health. But even those can be misleading in the end.
I say keep the food labels, but reconsider the movie ratings system. What if it went away? The studios and exhibitors would have to *tell us* who the movie is intended for. What's so hard about that? What is this magic benefit we're getting from a rating system?
But there are no teeth with the movie rating system.
Well, the only place they’re enforced is you being able to enter a movie theater.
But I can see how that affects the earnings for a movie during its theatrical run.
But even R rated movies, I believe if you’re under 13 you just need someone over 17 to take you.
