Swear words? Boobs? Hell nah

Someone getting shot ten times? PG-13

I think it's hilarious that there are swear budgets for various ratings. I'm pretty sure adults can tell whether a movie is intended for kids or not, and they're the most sensitive to foul language.

I personally choose to not swear, but I watch and listen to plenty of content with vulgar language of all varieties, it really doesn't bother me, so I don't see why it's so taboo in movie ratings...
