The Motion
Picture Association of America is crystal clear when it describes why its "PG"
rating exists _ it's a warning flag.
"The theme of
a PG-rated film may itself call for parental guidance," states the online
explanation of the rating system. "There may be some profanity in these films.
There may be some violence or brief nudity. ... The PG rating, suggesting
parental guidance, is thus an alert for examination of a film by parents before
deciding on its viewing by their children. Obviously such a line is difficult to
draw."
