I found this quote by Sally Struthers. She may be a crazy little elf (did anyone see her on "Rosie" the other day?), but she's not so bad. I've heard Trey say this same kind of thing when bitching about "Orgazmo"'s NC-17 rating.
Sally's Quote:
"If a man is pictured chopping off a woman's breast, it only gets an R rating. But if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman's breast, it gets an X rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness?"
Pass me a twinkie, ~Lisa
This is a *very* old soundbite -- in fact, I'm pretty sure it dates back to the year motion-picture ratings were instituted (maybe the late 1960s?). It's still valid, of course; it's just.....well..... not especially original.
One of the more high-impact variations I heard, way back when, went something like this: "If you suck a tit, you're rated X; but if you hack it off with a sword, it's GP." [At that time GP was the approximate equivalent of today's PG-13.]
In article , Mark Tangard , silping a nuclear fizz in the insurgent manner, wrote:
I believe the original quote was from Lenny Bruce.

That's an old line. I heard it as two movie producers -- "They won't give us an R rating until we take out the scene of him kissing her tit." "Well, then, have him chop it off, it'll pass just fine."
