IMDb: If you ever need a good laugh...

...do what I do and spend some time reading through the Parental Advisory entries! It has been known to give me countless hours of amusement, as a lot of the advisories seem to be written by naive dweebs without a clue as to what real-life is all about.

A classic that I love is the people that put in such risque behaviour as: hugging, kissing, displays of affections between two people, or even a husband and wife seen in bed together (in their PJs, no less), under the "Sex" header. Yep, that's parental advice that I really NEED to know! Human beings acting like loving human beings towards one another. It doesn't get any dirtier than that...

Or my favourite: people that add in notation of a rape scene, or scenes, usually accompanied by lengthy detail of the whole process, again under the "Sex" banner -- when they SHOULD be listing rape scenes under the "Violence" category. Afterall, that's why rape is also referred to as "sexual VIOLENCE", right? But nope, because for some inexperienced-in-the-ways-of-life weiners, since there is a "sex act" involved (albeit one achieved under coercion or through violence) it has to go under the "Sex" bracket. Those crazy kids...

I think the other best ones are the ones that fly in the face of IMDb regulations and include the poster's own personal opinions. I can't remember the film, but in one advisory for a horror film it has words to the effect of: "It's a horror film, so it's gory. What do you expect? If you don't like horror or gore you shouldn't be watching this".

Trust me, IMDb Parental Advisories = hours of fun and loads of laughs (at the utter stupidity of some people out there). ;)

Here's a fine example of what I was talking about: the parental advisory for National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation...

"Sex & Nudity"

• A couple imply that they will have sex in an airplane restroom, but inside they just grope clumsily due to the small area.

• Christy Brinkly has a small white dress on showing cleavage.

• Cousin's daughter is in a half top and short shorts in the beginning.

• The daughter tries on a tight, low-cut, green dress from her cousin.

• The daughter is seen dancing with her cousin at the end of the film.

Do you get the idea that whoever decided that the above was worth writing up a "parental advisory" for maybe needs to get out more? Or possibly hasn't entered high school yet? Or maybe lives in a small Amish community and this was the first movie they ever saw? Or has zero experience in the School of Life, at all?

And yet they don't warn about the gratuitous Wayne Newton cameo...

C'mon, man..."dancing with her cousin"! That's not only unforgivable, but sinful too! We all know dancing with people leads to shenanigans... ;)

It's obviously a film with a pro-incest agenda and should be banned for that reason.
