WASHINGTON,DC- The MPAA has just released a PG-13 rating for everyday life. Everyday life, a common experience shared by every living organism on the planet, has been deemed inappropriate for children under 13 without parental supervision.
"We judged everyday life by the same criteria we do all our other reviewed media," MPAA spokesman Antonio Lycman said. "We came to the conclusion that parental supervision is strongly suggested for living children under 13."
Some of the objectionable content leading to the rating are "strong violence, intense sequences of horror and terror, gore, sexual content, nudity, innuendo, crude humor, drug use, teenage drinking, fantasy/cartton violence, strong language, sexual references, tobacco use, drinking, teen sex, intense action violence,
and smoking."
"There are long, intense sequences of violence in life," Lycman stated.
"Not only that, but drug use and sex were both heavily present in life."
Asked why the popular for of existence did not receive an R rating, Lycman said,
"We feel that would have been inappropriate. We can't not allow children under 17 into life. It would be highly impractical."
The announcement has had a profound impact on parents and family life around the nation. "I used to just let my daughter go to school alone every day, without my supervision," 43-year-old Todd Blackman said of his 8-year-old daughter, Samantha. "Now that they finally came out with a rating, I'm probably going to have to go everywhere with her now. Who knows what she may face out there?"
The impact that everyday life has had on today's culture, especially the youth, is not hard to see, Lycman said. "Teen sex is rampant in our high schools and college campuses everywhere," said Lycman. "drugs have had a devastating imapct on much of the population, and all one must do is turn on the news to see the violence that happens today as an effect of the violent content of everyday life."
Although life has been deemed appropriate with parental supervision for those under 13, some parents have expressed caution in what their children see. "I don't want my kids exposed to that," 53-year-old mother Patricia Felton said before brutally beating her tween daughters in an attempt to discourage their interest in experiencing life.
When informed of the acts of Felton and other parents, Lycman said, "Well, if that's true, that may raise the objectionable content level in life to an R."
