The Motion Picture Association of America said Thursday that it would scrutinize smoking more closely as part of its ratings criteria. Underage smoking has always been considered behavior that could warrant a tougher rating, the MPAA said in its release. Now, “all smoking will be considered and depictions that glamorize smoking or … feature pervasive smoking outside of an historic or other mitigating context” could warrant a more prohibitive rating, the organization said.

DR. SELA MATHERS: Shouldn’t we also have this type of penalty for scenes that include Ben Affleck? |

ROB REILLY: I’m glad that they are going to be more responsible with regards to protect children from images of actors smoking on the big screen. But honestly, only a moron would do something just because a celebrity does it. How brain washed can the public really be? |

BOMB QUEEN: Ignorance. In times like these I’m glad I live inside the city- limits of my dictatorship. My city doesn’t have to deal with your stupid mysterious board of “watchmen”. And since I don’t live according to your laws and rules I can be an impartial observer. So listen up all you repressed dumbass Internet bloggers, what I see across America is one jacked-up, hypocritical circle jerk. Smoking in films bad… yet drinking in college frat films ALL UNDERAGE…. good? Sex is bad, but killing children … good? Whatever. Just call me when you’re ready to be a REAL free American and kill every board member of the MPAA and their families. Now that’s a signal rating you can get across to everyone. What you need is a real villain in charge. Maybe then you can stop asking me all these stupid questions. |
