I'm sure this has bugged some of us younger members of the group who are *NOT* over the age of 18, but...
What's the movie going to be rated, anyway? The trailer says uncut, and if it's rated R I don't know if I can get my dad to take me... (cause it'd probably have language like in SOXMAS)
So does anybody know what the rating is gonna be? My guess is 'R.'
BTW, to see an R rated movie, you do not have to be over 18; you just have to be over 17. If you're not 17 yet, I hope you will be when the film is in theatres. If you're not: Get some fake ID, or go to a theatre where they don't care about your age, or go with an over-17 friend who can pass for your older brother or sister.
If you want to see the movie badly enough, I'm sure you'll find a way. ;)
BTW, here is a partial list of the words that they think you're too young to be able to handle hearing:
Pussy Titties Prick Jerkoff Jackoff Whackoff Fuck Cunt Asshole Cocksucker
If you can handle this newsgroup message, you can handle the South Park movie and I think you ought to be allowed to see it.
It actually depends on which state you live in (in the US). In NC, they up'ed the age to see an R rated film to 18 three days before I turned seventeen (oh so many years ago). Also got tagged by the raise in drinking age from 18 to 19 by 3 years and the raise from 19 to 21 by ~1 1/2.
This is very true. Fake IDs can be wonderful things (though, of course *I* never owned one ... maybe ... kinda ... OK, I did, but it was a terrible ID, and I don't recommend anyone underage get one, the law can screw you these days in a big way for having a fake ID).
If you look below you will see how most people see your posts. Since I'm using Agent, I see a square box with '827 bytes' in it. Please stop posting in html or mime, which ever one it is. Thank you.

Well I live in the UK and the film raters are wussies over here, so they'll probably cut the film to shreds, then slap an "18" rating on it. Still, I'll be 18 by the time it comes out anyway. Oh, and when they release it on video they'll cut it even more!
One more thing - show your Dad the SOXMAS episode and he'll take you to see the film. I showed it to my Dad after he saw "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" and he almost wet his pants laughing. He now goes around calling fat people "pig-fuckers". Behind their backs, of course. Favourite line: when Jesus shouts "fucking pussy!". Yes, this IS my Dad!
Talking of my family's obsession with SP, the most commonly used word in our house is "Mmmkay", and we ALWAYS use it as a substitute for "OK", or "yes".
