The movie rating system always did seem pretty arbitrary to me- ultra-violence okay, sex bad. This takes it to a whole new level. What next, any movie showing people eating junk food gets a PG-13 rating?

It's always been up to the handful of people on the ratings board and their opinion on that day. The whole process is really odd, they have no set rules and things get appealed. Always remember the infamous 1.5 seconds of Robocop when ED109 kills that guy, they gave the movie an X and to get down to an R they had to cut 1.5 seconds of one scene... completely non-sensicle system.
