i don't think they carry a stigma that says these movies are trash,
although i can see why you'd see it that way. i feel that what they're
implying is that these movies aren't necessarily appropriate for someone
under the age of 17, which is both good and bad. it's good because a lot
of them probably aren't appropriate for younger kids...it's bad because i
think 17 is a little old for this sort of label, not to mention that just
because a movie is rated "nc-17" or "r" doesn't mean it's not worth a 14
year old watching. that's why i'm not so sure i like the libertarian
party...they want to dismiss the fcc as a whole, but we do need some
boundaries.
