» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.
We enable adults to determine whether a movie is
appropriate for them or their children, according to their own criteria. Unlike the MPAA we do not assign an
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
& PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10. We also explain in detail why a
film rates high or low in a specific category, and we include instances of
SUBSTANCE USE, a list of DISCUSSION TOPICS that may elicit
questions from kids and MESSAGES the film conveys. Again, unlike the
MPAA, we do not make age-specific recommendations. Since our system is based on objective standards, not the viewer's age or
the artistic merits of a film, we enable adults to determine
whether a movie is appropriate for their children according to their
own criteria...
