Speaking of Doc...
Rented coach buses often have little TVs built into them so that people can be entertained on long trips. My theater group rented such a bus when we went to Regionals to perform "Adaptation" by Elaine May. One of the movies we all agreed on was Back to the Future, as we were limited to G and PG movies only. (American Pie was everyone's first choice, go figure. :P)
The movie got pulled about ~30 minutes into it due to profanity. (God's name in vain, various words for feces, etc.)
Please note that this was a group of ~20 high schoolers, with a frequently drunken drama coach, on a 5-hour bus trip to perform a controversial play that bashed, among other things, women, races, and religion. And a PG movie gets pulled because Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox said too many naughty words.
(Surprisingly enough, American Pie got shown at the cast party following the state competition. More adults around, high schoolers with beer, and a movie playing that should have been rated NC-HB for "if you are a human being, do NOT watch this movie.")
EDIT: I think this comes from the North Korea thread where someone showed off their Americentricism by rattling off the Motion Picture Association of America's movie rating system. I think a better title of this thread would be, what constitutes "just enough" so that a movie or computer game or whatever is socially acceptable for 13-16 year olds?
