Rated R... for Ridiculous 

First Michael Moore complained that the Bush Administration was trying to keep his new film from reaching the masses. Now he's complaining that the MPAA has slapped it with an 'R' rating.

Moore says, "It is sadly very possible that many 15 and 16-year-olds will be asked and recruited to serve in Iraq in the next couple of years. If they are old enough to be recruited and capable of being in combat and risking their lives, they certainly deserve the right to see what is going on in Iraq."
Well thank God that Michael Moore is the first person to show what's going on in Iraq. Memo to Moore: Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ received an 'R' rating for the same justifiable reasons as your movie. Parents that wished their children to see it, took them to do so. I'm sure that any parent, who feels that your film delivers a similar impact, will follow suit.
