Readers had a field day discussing the use of the F-word — yes, that one — in PG-13 movies.
A recent Associated report details the shifting rules and trends of ratings in movies.

According to the AP, scripts are allowed one non-sexual F-word each in order to still be rated PG-13. But film-makers aren't known for following the rules.
spaul1960 : The rating system is ridiculous, I recently saw a preview for a movie that listed smoking as part of the rating warning. The list was something like "sexual inuendo, violence, drug use, smoking." I mean really smoking as something to be warned about.
bigdan48602 : The movie ratings board is a scam. Watch the documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated on Netflix.
kalam : Young kids use it all the time so what exactly is the difference. Listen to a group of middle school kids who think no adults are around sometime. They use it for punctuation and as a verb, noun, adverb and adjective without even thinking about it. Doesn't make it right...it's just how it is.
M3G^TRON : Keep the "F bomb" out of PG-13 rated movies, please!
poker4funn: The lower a persons intelligence level the more the f bomb seems to be used to fill in to complete a phrase or sentence, maybe it is showing the intelligence of the writers, because many of the movies of today's age are so bad it is hard to even watch the complete thing.
LevelKevin : If you have to hear vulgarity to be entertained or speak vulgarity to communicate, then you're really just stupid.
