Not only could this clue be derived from the top 5 movies of 2005, but if one looks at the top 100 grossing movies of all time one is struck by the lack of R rated movies. As I recall, the highest grossing R rated movie was Passion of the Christ.

Meanwhile, the radically different list of top Oscar contenders is dominated by adults-only, controversial fare, with "Brokeback Mountain," "Munich," "Syriana," "Good Night and Good Luck," "Capote," and "Transamerica" leading the way.

As for these movies, Brokeback Mountain - Gay shepards...no thanks. Munich - PC moral equivalence flick...no thanks. Syriana - Rewrite of reality...no thanks. Good Night and Good Luck - historically inaccurate and/or outright false...no thanks. Capote - overrated gay writer...don't care. Transamerica - not familiar with this one.

So the problem with the movies is Hollywood has a problem dealing accurately with the facts when dealing with real life and historical topics and they seem to believe that the couple of percent of population that is gay will spend enough to make their movies blockbusters...that doesn't seem rational either.

It's about a guy who has already had hormones to grow boobs, but hasn't had his peter whacked off yet, who finds out he somehow fathered a child that is now whoreing himself on the street. Good wholesome fare.
