well garden state is basicly a love story that says **** twice, and once you say it twice its rated R. Its like one time a kid can understand but if you say it twice they need adult supervision to explain it.
I don't know if I agree with you there I do not think they try to enforce fear I only think someone might feel that way if they know what they are doing is wrong. I mean I can understand how some people get annoyed but the bottom line is MPAA is just trying to help the film industry.
I think the MPAA does a good job with ratings I mean you are right about garden state and the drug use. I mean I am sure it is really difficult trying to figure out how to rate something I mean if they don't make it R then some parent will be upset at the rating not being high enough so I think they are just making sure they cover themselfs....I mean with all the other work they have to do with Pirating I think the rating system is okay.
