I got to finally go to the park on my birthday and rode some good stuff...and I had fun.
Got to the park around 11:00am (**** getting up at 7:00am especially with a party the night before). The first ride was East River Crawler. Highlight was hearing a ride op swear (well nothing to REAL LIFE but OMG families will get pissed off ) Ride Op on Condor was like "if you think SF is the best park in the Damn world scream"!!! I wanted to go up to him and thank him.
Left the park at 5:00pm so for about 5 hours I got on a lot of crap.
In today's society, it's almost like there is nothing wrong with swearing even when kids are younger. I was on Demon, and the kid was swearing, and the mom was right next to him. Pretty soon the F word is going to be on regular television, and in G movies. I was watching Yes Man, and the guy said the F word in a PG-13 movie. That's not even rated R, and in the last part of the movie all the people were naked from the back. I can't believe that. I didn't really like that movie, but that's not the point.
What is family friendly anymore? What does that mean? Kids getting drunk with their parents?
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
If you knew what PG-13 means in the ratings , you wouldn't be shocked to hear a few curse words. Remember, it's not rated G for a reason.
A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
