Hell yea. Like those two cheerleader flics... "Bring It On" and the one where the cheerleaders are bank robbers. Those should have been Rated R for Extreme Sexual Conduct and Exteme Nudity. Might have made me want to go see them.

It's just a sign o' the times...we're living in a very conservative, hypermoralistic climate right now, so there's going to be less "racy" or "risky" entertainment out there, and what little bit we get will get pushed to the fringes.

I've noticed it's becoming more and more taboo to curse anymore.

Gotta love those fuckin' Bush Family Values!

hell, nothing is r-rated anymore. what used to be r-rated can now get a PG-13 rating with no problem. I think you have to say fuck 17 times to get an R, but only 15 times will get you a PG-13 lol

NC-17 i thought had male frontal. I know you can't have male frontal in an R, so that automatically got you an NC-17, oh but you could show female frontal in an R
(such a dumb double standard)

Come on, we all know a man's ugly hairy penis is way more offensive then well sculpted, smoothe firm breasts.

The reason there are less R-rated movies out is because hollywood wants bigger box office receipts. They cut down and edit movies as much as possible in order to have the largest reach to their audiences. It's sad, because it means they don't give a crap about the movies they make, only the financial return they get on them.
