How is Flightplan's rating weird? It had VERY intense plot material.

MetalGearSunnyon Oct. 16, 2010 at 7:01 p.m.

This is such a great list.

Great List! I always enjoy it when games are rated "E" for "comic mischief". Some that come to mind for me movie wise, Lord of the Rings extended edition is rated PG-13 for "Epic Battle Sequences and Scary Creatures" I always loved that. And I think one of the Harry Potters had "Mild Flirtation". Good job!

Further proving that the MPAA has their heads up their asses

Some of these made me laugh pretty good. AvP's was great....

"Violence, language, horror images, slime and gore"

dear god, not slime!

Thanks MPAA, for defending our children against "quirky situations".

Gotta protect all those children from movies with very bad weather.

If you read War of the Buttons' description in a faux-Stephen Fry voice, it's 100x funnier.

"Bare Bot-tums"

Bad weather? We really are living in a modern day Gomorrah.

The MPAA is such useless but highly entertaining organization. Today they let stuff like Saw and Hostel with copious amounts of sadistic violence through with R ratings, then give goofy and campy stuff Hachet 2 an NC-17. At least be consistent like in the 80's when they did clamp down on gore which led the studios mandating smokescreen gore effects to keep the MPAA busy.

I remember one of the Harry Potters was rated PG by the ESRB due to 'Fantasy Spiders'

I hate to admit it, but I have seen Teenage Space Vampires.
