TV and Movie Classifications and Their Warnings

I don't know about you, but I find some of the TV program classifications and their warnings ridiculous. Some of the warnings are so obvious that I have to wonder just how intellingent the people behind them think other people are. Then, there's some of the ratings themselves!

There's actually classifications under G!

Yeah, there's P and C classifications.

I don't understand the classifications under G ... well, actually, I assume that the P classification is to let parents know that there's no chance of hidden jokes for adults and that the program offers Play School level of entertainment. But really, a program is either child friendly or it isn't. And classifying something below G is just informing parents that the program is going to be horrible for them and that they shouldn't buy it.

But enough of that. There is a very good reason why there's going to be more and more classifications that will just get even more ridiculous with each new one; political correctness and the irrational desire to wrap children up in a suffocating amount of cotton wool so that they can't handle anything as adults.

That's probably the reason why warnings at the beginning of TV programs and movies are getting even more ridiculous and specific with each passing day. That, and people's desire to pander to the stupid and/or incrediably sensitive people who really shouldn't be pandered to.

I mean, if I'm watching some fantasy show that's rated MA15+, I don't need to be warned of the "supernatural themes." And if I've already been warned about the sex scenes, the violence, the drug use and the strong coarse language, I'm pretty sure I don't need to be warned about the "mature themes" as well. The "mature themes" has already been covered by the MA15+ classification as well as the rest of the warnings. If anyone is shocked by the "mature themes" after all of that, then that person is an idiot and just looking for something to complain about and should just be ignored!

The way this is going, people will soon be so dumbed down that they won't be able to think for themselves. They'll need other people to tell them if the movie or TV program is to their liking based on every single "mature theme" that has been pointed out for them. Heaven forbid that the nudity isn't mentioned even though the sex scenes have been mentioned!

I mean, who needs to be warned about nudity when they've already been warned about the sex scenes?

Morons, that's who.

And who needs to be warned about "mature themes" after being warned about just about every single mature theme has already been listed?

Actually, who needs to be warned about "mature themes" when watching something classified M or higher?

That M stands for "mature."

There really isn't any need for "mature themes" to be listed. If people aren't smart enough to realise that the M classification stands for "mature," then they're too stupid to have an opinion on this. What they've got to say really doesn't count if they're just going to land us with warnings like "mature themes."

But there's plenty more stupid content warnings besides "mature themes." For a list of them just follow this link, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ContentWarnings

On the plus side, these content warnings can't get anymore specific and stupid person friendly, right?

Somehow, I think this is only just the beginning of the Pandering to the Stupid era.
