Jack Nicholson summed it up rather nicely: If you suck on a tit the movie gets an R rating. If you hack the tit off with an axe it will be PG.
Yeah, really. I got to watch the Uncut version of Gangs of New York in school without any negative repercussions on the class or teacher. I saw a guy get impaled UNCUT, and that's any better than seeing the boobs of some whore at the whore house in the movie? Take this as my answer: if the latter is worse, why didn't I cringe at the sight? "Because you're a boy and a horny chauvanist pig who likes to see women exploited as sex objects and-" SHUT UP!!! I saw her breasts, nipples and all, in great detail for the few seconds it was on there. I know there is in fact an over-abundance of full-on porn of any and all kinds imaginable available for FREE on the internet. So why am I being told that the low-res, low-quality sex game that can ONLY BE ACCESSED BY THOSE ABLE TO FIND AND INSTALL A CERTAIN MOD is the most scandalous, evil act in Video Game History since the first Mortal Kombat fatality scene? I saw a movie in JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL that was far and beyond more bloody, graphic and sexually suggestive than ANY Grand Theft Auto game. So why wasn't there an uproar over that? Care to explain that, anyone?
Look, I'm just going to be forthright about it: Sex is WAAAAY better than Violence. For one, Sex won't get you thrown in Jail unless you go Hardcore Public at the wrong place/wrong time, etc. Heck, you can get thrown in Jail just because someone even THINKS you MAY become violent or aggressive these days! Hitting someone gets you fired, but "sexual harrassment" only gets you reprimanded, yet the former gets less of an uproar. But why then, if Violence is so wrong, am I shown copious amounts of it EVERY SINGLE DAY??? It's not a matter that I watch it, it's that it's even available to BE watched!
A child learns most from the ones they are around the most, and the TV says that it's OK to hack that man's hand off with a hatchet if he doesn't give you the money so you can buy that big, loud pop gun that turns people into pools of what appears to be grape juice, so when they push over little Timmy because he has the nice red fire truck toy that they want and Timmy doesn't want to hand over, the child doesn't understand why they're being paddled three seconds later by their mommy...and why their mommy is then suddenly being taken away by big, scary men in sunglasses and black suits who carry silver pop guns on their belts and don't say anything...and why Timmy just said "eew!" when the kid told little Susie she looked pretty.
So violence is wrong, officer? Well, tell that to my Electronic Babysitter, I think he disagrees with you. Now give me back my back issue of Maxim, will ya? Oh, it's inappropriate due to sexual content? SCREW YOU! (sounds of scuffle) POLICE BRUTALITY, POLICE BRUTALITY!...AND GET THOSE CAMERAS OUT OF MY FACE, YOU LOW-BROWED CORPORATE SLUM-RATS FROM "COPS"!
Meanwhile, on the other end of the TV camera...
Annonucer: Tonight on COPS...
Me: POLICE BRUTALITY, POLICE BRUTALITY!
Little Timmy: "Gee, I should do what that cop is doing to the boy who took my Fire truck today when I see him at school tomorrow!"
