New film categories pathetic

I DON'T know what makes me angrier, the pathetic new movie categorising system, having it rammed down my throat every commercial break, or the idiot parents that need it rammed down their throats.

The bottom line is this; unless a movie is Category III, no lawful body can stop a child from going to see it. In hindsight, that means the small children sitting in front of me in Waterworld had every right to be there. According to the powers-that-be, those same small children will be admitted to Seven should their parents see fit. Those of you who have seen this movie will surely know that for all the tax-payers' money spent on instigating and advertising the new categorising system, it is fundamentally flawed. Could all those 'experts' involved in this mess please pay attention.

'PG' means 'Parental Guidance'. 'M' means 'Mature audiences' - those aged 16 and over. 'R' means 'Restricted' - those aged 18 and over.
