The time being wasted on this just illustrates the mind-numbing idiocy of people in positions of power. They really have nothing else better to do. So damn sad!

Now since being overweight is the number one killer health wise in the U.S. why don't they make any movie that has an over weight actor rated R? I mean come on, it makes about as much sense. People have to learn to take responsibility for themselves and quit blaming others for their faults. I smoke. I cannot blame anyone else but myself. It wasn't Bogart, Eastwood, or any other superstar that lit that first cigarette for me, I did. If you are so concerned that movies are going to start your kids smoking, then don't take them to a movie or sit down with them and explain how smoking is bad. Stop haven't agencies do your parenting for you. AMAA is trying their best to social engineer us.

Anyone who has a problem with branding all smoking movies with an R rating, obviously doesn't have children of their own. I hope the AMAA is successful in their endeavors.

Next thing you know they wont allow sharp objects or open flames on the sets of movies.. This reminds me of a bar I went to: I ordered 2 flaming Dr Peppers.. the bartender says to me "sorry sir, we are not allowed to have an open flame at the bar" - so i look around and there are people smoking near the bar (in an outdoor area), there are those little candle mood things ON the bar, and i ask the guy "so how the fuck are u cooking ur food in the kitchen" (located right behind the bar)...

Really, the warning label should be a pretty good clue that the product you're about to purchase includes some potentially serious health risks. "No kids, bullets to the head didn't kill that man, it was the cigar in his mouth that did him in!" Damn, I so need a cigarette after reading the bu!!s$@T spewed forth by the AMAA.

They want any movie with smoking to be R-rated while the beautiful schlock of Drag Me To Hell is rated PG-13. Blood spraying, bug vomiting, grave robbing, and little kids plummeting to their deaths before being dragged to Hell is cool, but nobody better smoke a cigar. Christ. Question. Do you guys list the contest winners? If so, where do I find them? Sorry, I may be looking over them. Has anybody won the DMTH contest yet? This is a good article and it is great timing.

There is a ban on all smoking in Marvel Comics because Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada's father died of lung cancer. And of course Fox got it wrong as well, for Wolverine does not smoke in his comics.
