Odd warnings

We spotted this poster at the movie theater. In case you can't see it well, the picture is of a child (drawn by a child) with its arm cut off. It says "Kids learn faster than you think. Do no take your children to movies rated A [for Adult]". That's a bit morbid by American standards. But even odder is that the movie we saw was amazingly violent. I'm talking people getting their throats slit and impaled by sharp rocks. There were so many small children in the theater and when the awful vivid killing scenes happened, Dan and I were the only ones gasping in shock. The kids and other Indians didn't seem to blink.

But when it comes to swearing and sex scenes, even kissing, it gets censored quickly.


This is from a restaurant menu.
