Escaping the grasp of ratings

Parental advisory: explicit content

^^That gets put to certain albums. Should they be?

Rated R (or etc)

^^That gets put to certain movies. Should they be?

Rated E (or etc)

^^That gets put on certain video games. Should they be?

Rated MA-14 (or etc)

^^That gets put on certain cable/tv programming. Should they be?


To the main questions:

1. Who all decides on whether or not something gets a rating of some kind? What are ratings intended for?

2. How is it the news media doesnt have to put some sort of ratings to its content of a particular news bid being covered?

Personally, based on a current rating system of your liking, what would you rate news coverage about:

1) a school shooting that left 22 students dead?
2) a teacher student sexual relationship where the teacher performd oral sex on the student?

3. Not all books are put as childrens books. How is it that writers of certain books dont have to put some sort of ratings onto the books for the content they have within them?

Personally, based on a current rating system of your liking, what would you rate the book called:

1) the Bible?
2) the Koran?

Man, why don't you save your time and just say - fictional tales are based on facts, and facts are often more violent. Who gives a fuck? Raise your fucking kid.

The end.

the keyword is maturity. ratings are intended to let the consumer know what manner the product is being presented in and what ages it is suitable for.

Ratings are a product of overprotective Christian conservative lapdogs.
