The recent addition of a section comparing the MPAA ratings to the levels on this scale seems like a good idea, but I don't think that it's quite accurate at this point. For example, I don't think G-rated movies are allowed to show any true violence these days (yes, the G-rated The Longest Day is in Level 2, but that film was rated before the MPAA knew what it was doing). Hell, I think that if a filmmaker puts characters in dangerous situations in their movie, the MPAA will slap a PG-rating on it with a note that it contains

Hell, I think that if a filmmaker puts characters in dangerous situations in their movie, the MPAA will slap a PG-rating on it with a note that it contains \"mild peril\" or something like that. Also, it seems like nowadays that any depiction of fatal violence or blood in a violent context gets you a PG-13-rating, although there may be some exceptions to this.

So, what I\'m trying to say is, the MPAA ratings/Mohs Scale of Violence Hardness levels comparison section should look something more like this:

G: 0;
PG: 1-2;
PG-13: 2-7;
R: 6-10;
NC-17: 10

Yes, there is some overlap between the territory covered by the ratings. For example, levels 6 and 7 are generally a wild card between PG-13 and R. These new correlations reflect the modern standards the MPAA uses, rather than the ones they used prior to the creation of PG-13 and whatnot.

Does anybody else agree that the scale above in this post should replace the one currently in the article?
