"Remember what the MPAA says: horrific, deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!"- South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
The MPAA is an outdated and misguided organization.
Violence is not a big deal. But for God's sake, don't show a penis or two men kissing.

Don't show a penis...unless it's been bitten off by a piranha.

Good. I loved This Film Not Yet Rated, but it's about time there was higher profile action taken against the MPAA.
Someone there made an interesting point in saying he should just release them unrated. With these two films, I doubt it would have any impact on where they play an the audience hey would bring in. But I am glad he wants to fight these morons.
I believe it's because many of the major cinema chains (Regal, Loews, etc.) won't release a movie without an MPAA rating. It's supposed to be voluntary, but the way the industry works these days, they definitely force your hand.
But is that as true now as it was say, ten years ago?
