SC - Sexual Content Hello?????? What in the world are they talking about?

"You get to drink from THE FIREHOSE!!! Open wide! *WHOOSH*"

Extra special thanks to a certain band member for clueing my innocent mind in on that reference and ruining that scene for me forever.

Extra extra special thanks to a certain forum member for ruining that scene for me, too... :sleepy:

Dave??? You sneaky guy ... Did you do that???

Submit the erroneous piece of trivia with the bad word in it? Yes, it's true. It's all true! Go ahead! Just bash my head in with this crow bar!!

Oh... you mean request it be deleted? Nope, wasn't me.

And, no, I didn't actually really submit it either.

[weirdojace]

You...already said that.

Dave's been hit by the double posting gremlin. Either that or he's trying to make sure we are paying attention.

Hmph. Sounds like a certain band member's mind could use a little visit from Soapy the Germ Fighter and THE FIREHOSE. :mad:

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Just to be sure, I Googled the phrase "drink from the firehose." All the non-UHF references I found had to do with being overwhelmed by data, in the context of situations like technical seminars at MIT or internet portals. I'm sure that if there was a generally-accepted subtle innuendo associated with the phrase, it would have turned up in the first few pages of search returns, people being as fond of subtle innuendos as they are.

Weirdly, of the sites that were quoting UHF, about half had the lucky winner finding the marble in the oatmeal, and the other half had him finding the marble in the mashed potatoes. Cross-contamination with Dare To Be Stupid, perhaps?

QUOTE It says a kid can be heard saying, \"Oh man, f*ck off!\" in the background when Fletcher unplugs that clock! I can't hear that on mine!  :wow: I listened to it and I heard "Oh man, come on!" -Rich, just Rich

That's what I heard.

I don't understand this at all! I heard and proved that a movie can still have a PG ratig if it say the "F" word once, and Al gets PG-13 for throwing poodles out a window? C'mon! It's just harmless fun. How can UHF and movies like Austin Powers have the same rating? It's very discouraging for younger fans if you ask me.

because of the time. all the movies now, have less strickt guidlines to go by. if uhf was released now, it would be pg. definantly.

Can someone explain to me all the American Ratings? Because they're different in Australia:

E - Exempt
P - Preschool (kindergarten in US)
C - Childrens
G - General Exhibition
PG - Parental Guidance under 15 recommended
M - Recommended for viewing only by 15+
MA - Parental Guidance under 15 required by law
R - Legally Restricted to 18+
X - Legally Restricted to 18+, no public exhibition
RC - Refused Classification, ILLEGAL. e.g. Ken Park.

Surprisingly, UHF hasn't been rated in Australia, according to The OFLC (Office of Film & Literature Classification) Search Function

Here is a very general description:

G = General Audiences (For children)
PG = Parental Guidence (For children, but might contain some foul language, segestive material, etc)
PG-13 = Age 13 apropriate (For teens, contains foul language, brief nudity, volience, drug use, etc)
R = For over 17 only (only adults can buy tickets [ID is required], contains strong foul language, violence, nudity, druf use, sexuall situations, etc)
NC-17 =No children under 17 (only adults are admitted, extremely foul language, accesive nudity, etc)

And then, there are, uh, Adult movies. I'm sure we all know what those are. :lookround:

[mewrio]

Now we can see who has the superior rating system! :biggrin: Hahahaha, take that, US citizens!

Ok. But what's the difference between R and NC-17?

Jeez, there's a big gap in there. It just doesn't make any sense.

*looking for something else to say. I'm sure I'll think of something.*
