Please Don't Call It a G-Rated Dispute
The New York Times this morning reports (link via Techdirt) that the MPAA, in it's infinite wisdom (not!), and in an obvious effort to continue providing quality shock and top-notch, carnival-quality entertainmant to those of us watching their legal prowess from the sidelines, is up to it's usual intimidation thuggery. Quoted from the NYT article, "The Motion Picture Association of America's ratings code - G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17 - is so familiar that the initials are used in everyday conversation about subjects that have nothing to do with movies. But that doesn't mean that the association wants just anybody to use them. Recently the association sent e-mail messages and letters to people who write online fan fiction, demanding that they stop tagging stories with the ratings." This is reaching new heights (depths?) of ludicrous behaviour.
