Oh I totally agree with you. No offense to anybody I offend but Americans are obese and it's becoming a big problem in the U.S. Anyways that's one opinion I'd love to hear others.
Speaking as an overweight person (not being politically correct. There is actually system to note whether somebody is overweight or Obese) I would like to talk about our crappy image problems. On one end we have all these fade diets and impossible standards of beauty, where people try to be as skinny as possible.
On the other end, we have our most popular restaraunts and food items which are notoriously unhealthy. The fat people are the people who simply eat what they want. But then, there are the obese people who eat what they want and never exercise one damn bit. If not for my bike riding, I'd be joining there ranks.
Now, on the MPAA. Why is a movie like "Almost Famous" rated R? One breast? Why is the film "Whale Rider" PG 13 when it's G content. Oh, it's because in one scene you can see a hash pipe. Frankly, the MPAA is one of my greatest enemies. Because of shit like this. And the fact that they have to be paid 20,000 to view a movie for a rating.
That's great for the major studios, but what about the indy filmmakers? 20,000 could literally break them! And most people will not see a movie that has not been rated.
Speaking of ratings and hypocrisy, how come some movies can show full frontal nudity but others can't? And how come the word "Pussy" almost got indy film "Terror Firmer" an NC 17?
I want to make a new rating system that hopefully some indy filmmakers will sign on to. Unfortunately, it will take capital that I do not have. But we need an alternative to the MPAA rating system that is systematic, not based on politics.
