I'm starting to see platevoltage's point. Yes it's additional information, but it is an indirect form of censorship.

Remove one more f-bomb and we'll give you that PG-13 rating you're wanting.

Food labels are easier to justify because they have a very tangible effect on one's health. But even those can be misleading in the end.

I say keep the food labels, but reconsider the movie ratings system. What if it went away? The studios and exhibitors would have to *tell us* who the movie is intended for. What's so hard about that? What is this magic benefit we're getting from a rating system?
