Studies have long shown that PG and PG-13 movies do better at the box office. They earn Hollywood more money.

Yet Hollywood - with their perverse agenda - will insert f-bombs and unnecessary sex scenes in a movie just to get an R rating. Even though it drives down ticket sales.

But PG movies are often being dumbed down. Plenty of cussing and potty humor and sexual innuendo.

I’ve read that back in the 1960s Hollywood made two versions of a movie. One for Europe and one for the USA.

I saw a western movie (HEAVEN WITH A GUN) back in 1969 which was safe for kids and there were several in the audience.

I saw the same movie on cable TV not long ago. It must have been a European version as, if released in the USA back then it would have been given an heavy R rating. No cursing, but several sex scenes added.

Then there was RIOT and ROMEO AN JULIET both rated R in 1969.
Now RIOT is considered PG-13 and Romeo and Juliet is rated PG.

Yes, Michael Medved wrote a book on this in the early 90s. It is like movie producers rather forgo profit if it means perverting society.
