That's a valid statement about the US. We see it all the time. PG-13 is 
OK if you kill off hundreds of people with machine guns, but if you show 
a woman's boob it had better have an R rating. Of course the production 
companies also know that Americans are more likely to watch an R movie 
than any other. I recall a Monty Mython movie where one of them broke 
into the middle of the film like a news announcer and said something 
along the lines of "this movie so far would probably by rated PG and we 
know that to get good ratings we need an R rating so we just wanted to 
take a moment and say 'f**k you". I know thiis isn't the actual quote 
but you get the general idea.
