Movie Ratings

It’s fun being a dad – I get to answer all sorts of questions about life from those little growing minds.
For instance, my grade-schoolers asked about movie ratings. What does PG mean?
My answer: that means the movie is Pretty Good.
What about rated G?
That means it’s a Great movie.
What about R?
That’s a Rotten movie – it’s bad for you.
How about PG-13?
It’s Pretty Good if you’re at least 13 years old.
I still don’t like the discontinuity among the ratings. Why does one have an age associated with it and the others do not? Either they should all have ages, or none. Make it consistent.
Example:
Current / | Non-Age / | Age |
---|---|---|
G | G | 1+ |
PG | PG | 6+ |
PG-13 | T | 13+ |
R | R | 18+ |
The T there is for Teen, in case you were wondering.
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me.
