Ok, really. Discussion time.
What exactly is PG13?
In a PG13 flick, you are allowed brief to extended exposure of upper frontal nudity. Breasts. It depends on the story, and a lot of other factors. In fact, you can have complete full frontal nudity both male and female in a PG flick. (Like say, as an expression of culture, say, African Tribesmen) Which means in a movie for little kids, it is entirely possible to have lots of exposed flesh jiggling around... Which still probably offends some people... Like the librarians who go through National Geographic and draw underwear on the natives. However, while it is somehow wrong to show the body, it is still perfectly acceptable to show graphic representations of murder and homicide in a PG13 flick. Somebody mind explaining how this works to me?
You are allowed to drop multiple F-Bombs. So long as they are spaced apart by x-number of minutes. S-Bombs too. But you can't say obcenities starting with mother or ending in sucker. Like Carlin said, those are just to busy, with to many hard "k" sounds. They just scare people.
Now, if the Lounge is rated PG13... Why is it that if somebody drops an F-Bomb, a filter nails it and turns it in to something else? Why is it we can show scantily clad videogame vixens in various screenshots but a partially decomposed horse posted by Warlocke gets the axe? We have had screenshots dipicting the wonton carnage of a Necromancer going bananas with corpse explosion, showing the whole screen with blood and gore everywhere... And chain casting blood golem to leave piles upon piles of disgusting guts and gore scattered all over Kurast leaving poor Ormus looking a wee bit green... But people raise objections over the words "raisins and cocktail weenies."
Thoughts? Opinions? Flames?

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
