Re: Kate's rating, and Armorican rating terms in general: G: General Audiences-suitable for children, cats, old ladies who knit doilies, &c., &c. "This cloud, this cloud-- Says 'Noah, C'mon and build me an Ark.'" PG: Parental Guidance Suggested-contains some small amount of violence, swearing, "sexual situations," a quick look at someone's butt, or something like that. "This kicking here inside Makes me leave you behind. No more under the quilt To keep you warm." PG-13: Basically the above, but more so: Bullets instead of fists, "fuck" instead of "hell," sex instead of situations, breasts instead of butts, &c. "With a kiss I'd pass the key And feel your tongue Teasing and receiving." R: This is where the sex and/or violence gets big time. Often the sex and/or violence is the entire point of the film. "After the party You took me back to your parlour. A little nervous laughter Locking the door. My stockings fall Onto the floor. Desperate for more." X: Originally meant for films that were even more graphic and explicit than R, X soon became synonymous with "Adult Movies," also known as porno flicks. "My Pussy Queen Knows all my secrets." (No, just kidding. Personally, I consider Kate Bush's music to be of a high enough quality that anything past "R" would be NC-17. See below.) NC-17: Recently created so that movies could be rated as adult without the stigma of being "X" movies. Not often used, but useful when needed. "In the warm room You'll fall into her like a pillow. Her thighs are soft as marshmallows. Say hello To the soft musk of her hollows." Hope this clears things up! ================================================================= = Lore Christian = "I want to be a lawyer. = = Fitzgerald Sj|berg = I want to be a scholar. = = mortal@ucscb.ucsc.edu = But I really can't be bothered..." = =================================================================
