change of rating system >:-)

as some of you might already know, the MPAA is having cows over the use of their rating system and sends out c & d letters to website owners:

MPAA BEING RIDICULOUSI stopped taking the MPAA serious when they gave "billy elliott" and "the full monty" R-ratings for "violence, bad language and homosexual content". personally, I think this is just some

....they're going to be sending out a LOT of notices. Some poor idiot has to sit there and research that.

Talk about a waste of time job.

This is similar to what I just said on my LJ, that warnings about content are far more valid than a lettered ratings system.

I read a long article written by a former and disgruntled member of the MPAA who detailed how the group works from the inside. The arbitrariness, the focus on sex as evil and violence as not evil, and the group's susceptibility to outside pressure demonstrated how truly absurd they really are, "Billy Elliott" being a perfect example.

Nice color system, although it does remind me unfortunately of the colorized terror alert system here. Red = imminent terrorist attack or graphic description of penile insertion into various body cavities. ;-)

That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard since "Don't ask, Don't tell."
*rolls eyes*
So...they're gonna pay someone to surf the web and look for misuse of the MPAA system? Don't they have better things to do?

I really really want to see them when they land in Library of Moria, of Elves and Men, Adult Fan fiction, and of course, last but never forgotten, Fanfiction.net.
I really want to see them copying and pasting the same message for hours and hours trying to find the email users because half of them don't work. *sits down and waits to see them*
*coughs* As for the rating of EoaS, if the Blue was first and then the Green followed it and there was a Purple warning, you would have a nice rainbow but I think it will work very well :) Hope they don't dare to annoy you *shakes head at them*
