Please please give me a break

The MPAA today said that depiction of smoking can now affect a film's ratings! If it is glamorized or pervasive, a PG-13 movie can be given an R rating. Are we sure that we're in the 21st century? I've never smoked a cigarette or anything else in my whole life, but I've seen countless movies where the characters do. It must be a miracle! Those evil Hollywood smokers didn't turn me! The most annoying upshot of this is that now, watered down, teen horror movies that used to be PG-13 can be R rated. It's going to be so bland that one day a film like Arachnophobia will be considered a gore fest!
