LVNSD would be much more informative than "Rated R," or, "PG-13."

  • L - Language
  • V - Violence
  • N - Nudity
  • S - Sex
  • D - Drug use
  • B - Blasphemy

Let's include recommended age at the end, so theaters can know whom to exclude (legal reasons):

Family Guy LVNDB-18

Dexter's Lab V-8

Looney Toons VD-8

Telly Tubbies 0

The rating system was a bad compromise engineered by a right wing pig named Jack Valenti. But the reason for it was that Congress was sniffing around some kind of official government censorship. Jesse Helms having the final say over what movies we could see, would have been much worse.
