This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:
* rape (20x)
* sex (15x)
* abortion (9x)
* murder (5x)
* porn (4x)
* queer (2x)
* shit (1x)
I tried checking the rating of a porn website and got a “G” rating because there were no bad words. Only in America, and possibly some fundamentalist countries like Saudi Arabia, could abortion be a “bad word”.
Just distract the usher and let the young’ns in through the side door.
I don’t think you can take this seriously at all. I ran my own semi-abandoned blog through it and got an R rating based on:
* whore (4x)
* pain (3x)
* shit (2x)
* crap (1x)
Mind you, all uses of “pain” were in reference to a kidney infection. Yeah, that’s real kinky.
As for a porn site getting a G rating … well, if the site has pictures but few or no words, I can see how that would happen. Again, this hardly seems like a sophisticated rating system; I would treat it like the joke that it obviously is.
I was going to ask what porn website has “abortion” on it. I am not surprised at all that a porn site got a G.
I would give this blog an A rating…for awesome!
NC-17 or not, I’m still going to tell my students about it when schools starts up again.
My extremely G-rated (and rarely updated) blog got a PG-13 rating because at some point I included the word “punch”. Once!
Please. I didn’t actaully go check the context, but there’s a good chance I meant the beverage!
I got a Pg-13 on my blog too.. and t has poems and stories…
That’s just ridiculous. It’s the same method for parental internet blockers though, so good luck researching anything for health class kids.
My blog got an NC-17 rating I think just for mentioning abortion a lot. What is up with that?
wow. like i really need an online dating site to tell me that my blog is rated R. heh.
“Gays” is also a “bad word.” Here’s my results:
* sex (14x)
* rape (3x)
* murder (2x)
* gays (1x)
Equaling an NC-17 rating.
Mine (http://sayingnothingcharmingly.blogspot.com/2007/06/oh-for-fucks-sake.html)
started off PG-13 and as I spoke of the stupidity, it went up to R and is now at NC-17. A few more f-words and maybe, just MAYBE, I can get an X!
Damn it! Only an R rating. Guess we haven’t been around long enough to rack up more ‘inappropriate’ subject matter.
Life is NC-17. It just makes you even cooler, feministing:)
My LJ is rated R. “This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words”:
vagina (6x) pain (2x) whore (1x)
…
Vagina??? That is lame.
Ha! SFGate’s parenting blog gets an “R” rating, for fifteen uses of the word “poop”.
Tee hee, as a fourteen year old reader, I find this amusing. I’m sure my parents would rather I look at porn than this. /sarcasm.
To tell the truth, I’m not sure if they would care if I looked at porn. But that would be another story for another day.
Mine’s a G. It only mentions sex twice. I’m going to have to work on that.
Is Mingle a pro-women or pro-feminist dating service? Just wondering why they’re getting publicity from all the feminist blogs.
Vagina, huh? Nobody yet take a hit for “penis”?
My extremely G-rated (and rarely updated) blog got a PG-13 rating because at some point I included the word “punch”. Once!
Sooo….If you wrote, “I made some cherry punch for my daughter’s pre-school graduation,” it would earn you a PG-13 rating. And, if you talked about that punch enough, it could eventually earn you an NC-17 rating. For talking about juice. Amusing.
My super-prudish blog was rated NC-17 for the following words:
* abortion (8x)
* gun (3x)
* sex (2x)
* knife (1x)
A mommy blog that I read was rated PG.
A Christian blog was rated NC-17 for abortion, hell, death, gay, and steal.
My LJ (dru-plus-spike.livejournal.com) is NC-17 b/c of:
Rape (5x)
Sex (3x)
Drugs (2x)
Gay (1x)
Honestly, I thought it was much dirtier.
Ironically, the website for the Stormfront White Nationalist Community was rated G.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
I just got out of a three night medical study. I couldn’t check feministing.com the entire time I was in there because they blocked it for ‘pornographic’ material.
I mean, mine got mad at all the uses of “fucking” (and i don’t know how far back it looks, because i’ve used it more than 15 times in seven months), and, get this, for two uses of “dead.”
I saw this on my favorite gay blog, queerty, they got an NC-17 as well. I typed in my blog, which is basically my two best friends and me writing random stuff that is only funny to us, and we got an R because of suck(2x), hell (3x) and abortion(1x).
I guess they don’t go far back enough for the lesbian threesome post.
I know my blog is not for the kiddies, but I got a “G” rating. Must be because I can’t spell anything right.
