THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

The ALPHABET SOUP NAZIS' BROTH causes SALMONELLA in AD-BLURB COPYWRITERS:
[DR. EVIL] custom-made the ratings system in 1968 to stave off regional censorship, and it worked. The problem is that the system is now geared to accommodating the most sensitive tastes in the country. R-rated movies with full frontal male nudity wouldn't raise an eyebrow in the above-named markets, but they'd cause fire drills and heart attacks in the South and in the other red states.
So, in New York, we're watching movies that have been tweaked to fit ratings that will keep them out of trouble in the most culturally ignorant and intolerant communities in the country. [DR. EVIL] had to do that in 1968; if he hadn't, the Catholic League of Decency and a hundred local censorship boards would have driven the Hollywood studios to bankruptcy trying to edit films to suit a multitude of standards.
Those threats are gone today. They might come back if the MPAA opened the floodgates and let films go out unrated.
BRING 'EM ON!
