Our Priorities Are So Screwed Up

[Aramike]

Yesterday, the wife and I went to see the new Nicholas Cage movie, Knowing, rated PG-13. It was fairly creepy and had an interesting premise, although the last 1/4 of the film was a bit hokey...

That being said *Mild Spoiler Alert*, there were scenes in the movie involving many deaths (a plane crash, subway derailing, etc). Sure, they didn't show much in the way of brains and gore flying around, but there definitely was some pretty graphic images (some blood, people on fire, people getting mowed over by heavy equipment, etc).

So, we got to thinking: had the movie been otherwise santized of all violence, but contained a sex scene, it would have be MPAA Rated R, no doubt.

Seriously?

Death and destruction is PG-13. A nipple is R.

Yeah, our priorities are screwed...
