Take-Two Loses Another Round in Court

IntelliAdmin writes "A federal judge refused a request from Take-Two Interactive Software to immediately dismiss some claims in a lawsuit accusing it of selling Grand Theft Auto videogames containing sexually explicit images under the wrong content label." From the article: "Take-Two and its subsidiary, Rockstar Games, had argued in the motion to dismiss parts of the lawsuit that the plaintiffs could only file claims in the states where they resided, not in all 50 states. But U.S. District Judge Shirley Wohl Kram denied Take-Two's motion and said she would reconsider if class-action status were granted in the case."

    One little problem with your Superman / Airplane! argument:

    Both of those were PG before PG-13 was created as a rating (1984).

    So, it's possible that had such a rating existed back then, they might've been rated PG-13 and not PG.

    Have social standards changed? Probably. (although, both would likely score below 'R' and above 'G', so it's hard to tell in this particular case if they'd be rated PG or PG-13).
