    Wow. Thats some really crazy PG-13. I said the same thing about movie ratings a while ago.

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall was PG-13 and in the first 8 minutes you see a guys dick just hanging there. I was like Uhhhh, I wouldn’t let my 13 year old watch that crap.

    Harold and Kumar – also rated PG-13 and then all of a sudden there was a “bottomless” party where guys and girls privates were showing for the entire 5 minute scene. Again, not something I see approriate for 13 year old.

    I guess as society changes so does what we think is approriate for 13 and unders!

    Yeah, but it was my bad, seriously. I normally check out movies at (free plug notice!) http://www.kids-in-mind.com. They are the best when it comes to deciphering ratings and letting parents know what is really in the movies the kids want to watch. But I figured he was 13, it said PG-13 and honestly, let my guard down. Never again!!! Thanks for reading!

    I’m. Not. Ready. My oldest son is 7, and some of the questions I get from some regular old PG movies send my jaw to the floor. PG-13? No thank you. This is why I buy DVDs from great 80s movies — there are no threesomes in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

    I knew that the ratings could not be trusted but had no idea that menage a trios and bottomless parties were considered PG-13, what is the point of rating. The good thing you were with your son and not his friends; you wouldn’t have know that it was time to have a sex talk.
