I agree, the proposal is ridiculous on its face, although no more so than the general prohibition against certain types of male nudity or the incredibly unpredictable rulings on violence. The MPAA has always been a hodgepodge and the ratings often make no sense.

However, if I try to look on the bright side, if this passes, perhaps the rule will increase the interest in old movies, as people rush to their Netflix to get full-frontal pictures of this oh-so-illicit activity. Wouldn't that be great?

Weird. I just watched The Royal Tenennbaums earlier today. And yes, Margot was smokin' like a chimney. Luke Wilson (Richie) however did not seem to mind.

They'll have to take the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE sets off the market; Peter Graves, Barbara Bain and Martin Landau all smoked like chimneys.

How about The Man with the Golden Arm? Is heroin – illegal – addiction OK but cigarette – legal – smoking out of bounds?

I suppose leftards are entirely desensitized to cognitive dissonance, so that makes sense to them.

Great analogy! I've seen that movie several times over the years, and you're spot on. Obama/liberalism is Robard's character; and he's secretly laughing with each new acqusition of power over our lives.

Thank God, sexually transmitted diseases don't kill men or women. Or else we’d have to ban 90% of all Hollywood movies.

As long as we continue to prostrate ourselves before the priests of political correctness, this kind of crap will be shoved in our faces. Stand up for free speech. The next time you use the plural (they) when you mean the singular (he) so you won't be considered sexist, wake up and realize you're being manipulated.

Depends if it gets on Hopey's "approved" list…

Can I buy back those DVD's from Gordon Brown?
