Music lovers are often confronted with the "Parental Advisory/Explicit Content" label. TV shows have ratings, too: TV-Y, TV-G, TV-MA and so on. There are movies, with their old familiar PG, R and NC-17 ratings. One symptom of this is a proliferation of official ratings. As a result, all kinds of regulators are in place to protect us from cultural experiences some might find objectionable, and they're cracking down on everything from spontaneous expletives during TV interviews, to costume mishaps at sporting events, to foul-mouthed radio hosts. Sometimes, though, it seems like our social standards are getting more and more squeamish all the time. Surely, here in the 21st century, we're all a part of the most sophisticated and informed society in history.
