Thought Police

Since when do companies have the right to tell me what I can and can not look at? What makes any organization (the US government included) think that they know what is better for me than I do? I guess next they'll be telling me what I can and can't eat. Or maybe who I'm allowed to talk to and be friends with? Now you may think I'm panicing but I just read a press release by the MPAA that scares me a lot. Here is the quote:

"The action comes in response to After Darks’ prominent display in both Los Angeles and New York of advertising that the MPAA had explicitly disapproved as inappropriate for general public viewing."

Thats one of the most blatant, casual remarks I've ever seen violating my rights as a person. And what scares me the most is that no one seems to have noticed this. For those of you who don't read MPAA press releases, the story is that After Dark wanted some posters approved for some billboards. Well the MPAA said no, and so After Dark went and put them up anyway. And suddenly there was a public outcry against the graphic ads. Thats all well and good, thats what should happen. If the pubic doesn't want to look at the billboards, thats up to people to complain when the ads are put up. What gives the MPAA and the ratings the right to choose what I can or can not look at? Who made them my saviors to keep me from looking at things they consider harmful or graphic? I think maybe the MPAA needs to go back to worrying about putting out some good, original movies instead of worrying about my precious sensitivies. Messege to the MPAA: I don't need thought police, I can take care of that myself.
