"The Passion", "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "R" Ratings...
Does it strike anyone else as ironic that parents didn't think twice taking their kids, and schools organized field trips to see "The Passion", rated "R" for the intense and horrific depiction of violence and torture of Christ, yet those same schools and parents probably won't want kids to see "Fahrenheit 9/11" for it's real-life depiction and documentation of what's happening in the world right now? The "R" rating is utter horseshit, you can see practicallyt the type of "violence" it reveals by tuning in CNN or Fox News on any given evening. Teens who might want to educate themselves politically will not be allowed to view it without a guardian, I doubt the same restrictions were applied when kids were in line to but tickets for "The Passion".

1. This parent of a 16 year old
would not allow her to go to The Passion but the 16 year old will be ahead of Mom in line for tickets to F911

2. Simple - The Passion and the whole Jeebus mythos is a fairy tale.
Never happened. It's a cartoon.

F 911 is fact that is happening now. Real people, real blood, real death.

People don't like reality...or, they like their "fake" reality, be it Jeebus or the host of reality TV shows that are currently the rage.
