Censoring a movie would be an accurate description if the MPAA actually edited the movie.
Interestingly enough, that's exactly how it works for big-budget films. The studio wants the most box-office friendly rating possible. The movie is submitted to the MPAA for review. The studio gets a list of scenes that need to be cut or shortened to make that PG-13 rating. The director protests for a bit, but is finally overruled by the suits. The movie is recut. Voila, censorship by the MPAA.
So, yes, props to Inigo for telling it like it is.
