Officially, the MPAA’s Classification and Rating Administration’s guidelines state: “A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context.”
But the MPAA’s guidelines then add that if two-thirds of the rating board members believe that multiple F-words are used in a legitimate “context or manner” or are “inconspicuous,” then the movie could still be rated PG-13.
Besides “The Social Network” and “The Tourist,” add “The Adjustment Bureau,” “Iron Man 2” and “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” to recent films that have dropped more than one F-bomb and still secured PG-13 ratings....

I agree Dwayne so does the minster whose sermon I'm suggesting you might want to listen to. It was a sermon that helped me understand what the enemy looked like when trying to fight for the souls of my children against so many adversaries.
Rufus, I think you also would find it helpful and I'd appreciate your input if you do listen. http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=926072050502

Why should God's children spend their money to the promotion of such wickedness? At least it seemed that was consistent with the Scripture and his intent?
Ruth,
You spoke wisely and understood my intent and I believe the intent of the scripture.
Mr Hammock,
I've listened to a couple of your proHollywood sermons and understand why you would feel led to justify their evil communications. Where you ought to be rebuking these movies you are using them as sermon outlines.
