This world is frickin' insane

[02ranger]

I just saw the trailer for the new Incredible Hulk movie, and noticed something. When the final frame of trailer comes up where it has rating and production info, there is a "Disclaimer" I guess, that says "This film contains depictions of tobacco consumption." So what? You can walk less than a half mile in most places and see real tobacco consumption. I understand the MPAA puts descriptions of why they give movies the rating they do just under the rating box, and that's fine; but this was a separate box on it's own like it's more important than the rating. Not only that, but tobacco is legal. I don't remember seeing a box on the trailers for Blow saying "This film contains depiction of Cocaine consumption."

And yes, I understand that there are a lot more important things to be concerned about, but I decide to take the day off from meaningful worries. lol

Update- I just found this article on IMDB. This explains their disclaimer a little bit. I guess it was an attempt to appease the AMA. I still think it's kinda stupid, but it makes more sense now.

Rated R for pervasive drug content and language, some violence and sexuality.

Blow

Pretty much the same thing.... but yes, I agree, it's stupid.

I'm not saying Blow was a good movie. I just meant that cocaine use is illegal and arguably more dangerous, but it didn't get it's own special box outside of the rating to say "People snort coke through this entire movie." That would be understandable though, to a certain degree. Tobacco use is legal and is everywhere. Why would they need to "warn" people of that?

The hulk only becomes the hulk when Banner smokes 13 cigarettes. True story.
