There is the argument that the movie industry would be free to make anything they want but if they can't show it to a lot of their normal customers because of this legal restriction it will efffectivly be a case of the government deciding what movies can be made or shown. They can still make the movies and the kids can still see them, they just have to see them with their parents, IMO. That doesn't seem so onerous to me. would not be enough to keep young Americans from getting bombarded with sexual images and message pushing casual sex. If the public joined on this, I'll bet the media would sober up, at least somewhat. Right now they think that concern about this just comes from puritanical nuts, whom they feel comfortable ignoring. If they understood how universal the concern is, they might well find different outlets for their creativity. American Pie isn't the only isn't the only kind of humor. There's always the California recall... As far as adults are concerned, I don't know that all that graphic sex is necessary or even wanted except by randy twenty somethings. I have long since taken bathroom or kitchen breaks from TV movies during the sex scenes, car chases, and choreographed fights. People used to love movies just as much back in the days when those romantic scenes just faded out to whatever your imagination suggested to you.
