If you don't understand the film rating system in America, take a number and get in line.

Read up on Stone and Parker's take on the MPAA rating system when they made the South Park film. It's hilarious. Every time the film was rejected as being too obscene for even an R rating, they would turn around and make it WORSE. Eventually, the film was approved for an R rating. No one really understood why.

I think they said the movie was originally called "All hell breaks loose" or something like that and people objected because of the word "hell" then they came back with "Bigger, Longer and Uncut" and it got approved. Censors are weird.

There was more to it than the title. There were a few scenes that went back to the ratings board 5-6 times before being inexplicably approved, as the scenes were more obscene than when they were initially reviewed.
