PG-13 ratings are at least what R used to be when I was a teenager back in the olden days. Most of them are actually closer to what used to be X-rated. I cannot imagine a movie back then getting an R rating that even discussed the things that are apparently in this movie. Since when is that stuff not porn, verbal or otherwise? Good grief, GREASE was rated R because of a couple of vulgar lyrics.

Many parents have been fooled by these ratings, taking a PG-13 rating at its word...I personally wouldn't take my 14-year-old daughter to a PG-13 movie without seeing it myself or doing real research. Heck, I wouldn't take myself to see most of them....even PG movies sometimes cross the line.

I guess I'm either getting really old and prudish, or the world is going crazy.......

Just my 2cents,

MIDNIGHT COWBOY was rated X. Did they even use profanity? I suppose they did, but not so much that I remember. It got the rating for the subject matter treated, in particular prostitution and homosexuality, and not for the manner in which it was presented, which was fairly restrained.

Come to think of it, MEDIUM COOL, a politically oriented movie centered around the '68 Democratic convention in Chicago, was rated X, I believe because of a brief and incidental scene of full frontal nudity.

Part of me says, "Get it over with." Just put porn into TV commercials, cartoons, and billboards. Remove all social boundaries. Allow sex on the street. Nationalize everything. Well, that's where we're sliding already isn't it? Hardly anyone ten years ago would have thought gay marriage would happen or auto company nationalization would slide through so easily. No matter how much we resist, this pace of degradation is accelerating.

As a ray of hope, attitudes seem to have changed since the election of Obama. A little fear of "hope" and "change" does wonders. Polls are showing the very recent rebellion against abortion, licentiousness, and socialism. Will the rebellion continue or be crushed by a fat, dumb, and lazy public?

Back in the day, I remember my Aunt Jeannie (my name sake) taking a bunch of us little ones to see Grease.

The Grease Lightening song ALMOST put a damper on things....remember the part when they sang “You know that ain't no shit we'll be getting lots of tit in Grease Lightening”......well, she had a fit!!

She attempted to cover our eyes and ears, she only had two hands and 6 kids lol. We giggled the entire ride home, as we “sang” the song...she was NOT amused.

I want to go back to the day where that was offensive. I do realize now the more we are exposed to raunch, the more immune we become.

“Good grief, GREASE was rated R because of a couple of vulgar lyrics.”

LOL. Yep. And here they are for your perusal. Rather tame by today's standards.

Can never think of “Grease” without remembering my sister moving in with me to attend college with her “Miranda Mix” CD with “Summer loving” burned on it.

When I heard that playing I said “Oh, so you like Grease?”. She had NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT, but loved musicals. It is now one of her top ten favorite movies (she likes musicals).
