I just read the Variety article you linked. It doesn't appear that the MPAA will really be revamping the ratings (sex will still be bad, graphic violence not so much, and the new hard R doesn't mean diddly squat if an adult accompanies the minor). They're just going to "educate" the public on the criteria for the ratings, because we're all to dumb to think for ourselves.

Thanks for the links. :)
