FCC What?

The FCC controls the ratings for television. However, there are some really freaky stuff with the FCC. There's a movie I saw, which was called Collateral. That was rated R. It consisted of a hitman, and a taxi driver. However, aliens vs predator was rated PG-13, which had more baddies beating the crap out of each other.

So, why is it that the FCC said AVP was rated PG-13, and Collateral rated R? Their basically the same, and both pretty damn violent. Both consists of guns, curses, etc. Supposidly, it is because Collateral contains people killing people without any moral reason. So, by their logic, I'm allowed to make a highly gory movie about Jesus land invading and killing everybody else. Its religeous, and its supposidly moral (by christian views), since their killing all the sinners. So, I can walk away with a PG-13 and a Christian version of Saving Privite Ryan.

The FCC also has the ability to say what goes onto TV, and what doesn't. Saving Private Ryan was going to go onto TV on Veterans day, but the FCC disallowed that. Something like Kangaroo Jack replaced that or something. You get the point. But why was Saving Privite Ryan taken off TV? If the parents are so worried about it, they should just hang over their kid's shoulders.

Alot of anime are also rated R just because of humans killing humans. Gunslinger Girls, I can understand why its rated R. It's pretty gory, and you have little cybernetic girls killing people. But anime such as Noir, I can't see rated R. So sure, there are two girls who go around shooting people, but it's not really that gory. That should be rated PG-13. Blood the Last Vampire should be rated R. That one is very bloody.

The FCC should be dissolved. If Bush took away some of the ABA's powers, then the FCC should not be allowed to run cencorship for TV. It's not our fault that there is absolutly nothing on TV, its the FCC's fault. If they keep on taking away every single human against human combat, then you might as well turn TV into care bears and jesus channels.
