St. Paul Pioneer Press | 06/01/2005 | Family bites: PG means pretty gory

If they're going to have ratings at all, it would be nice if they were consistent. However, it would be even nicer if parents would actually use some judgement and common sense. It's really not difficult these days to find out exactly what a movie is about, and whether or not it's appropriate for yout kids. If it's not worth it to you to do that, then why would you care enough to complain about the ratings system? I mean, if all you do is check the rating and if it's PG, you let your kid go, then obviously the movie makers now have an incentive to try to force moves into a specific rating to make sure parents like you will let their kids go see it. Or of course, you could just make them stay home and see the same stuff on TV, anyway.
