Stretching

from a los angeles times article:

A low-budget, inspirational football movie made by Baptist pastors in Georgia has triggered a flood of attacks by Christian groups that accuse Hollywood's main trade association of penalizing the film by giving it a PG rating.
...
"This incident raises the disquieting possibility that MPAA considers exposure to Christian themes more dangerous for children than exposure to gratuitous sex and mindless violence," said Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).

well. i don't know how many pg movies are being released with gratuitous sex and mindless violence. let's take a look at what kinds of movies have been rated pg in the past:

101 dalmations
the adventures of rocky and bullwinkle
christmas with the kranks
elf
stuart little
looney tunes: back in action
lilo and stitch
ice age
flubber
shiloh

that's pretty rough company for a good, christian, family movie. there is no way it belongs in that lot of sexually charged, murderously violent examples of cinematic debauchery. get a grip, people.
