elmo gets tawdry, or violent, or innapropriate…

Short post today.  I just wanted to share with you this fine Tuesday, a tid-bit of e-mail I received from RedBox.  I get these e-mails every Tuesday informing me of the new releases that are available at my local kiosk.  Today I noticed that Elmo is going green in “Sesame Street: Elmo Being Green”, which is a bit of copyright infringement on the Muppets in my opinion.  But more interestingly, according to RedBox, Elmo’s new flick is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. Here’s what I saw…

Wow.  What could Elmo be doing get get so harshly rated by the MPAA?  I may have to rent this just to see what makes this so objectionable for the 12 and under crowd.  The way Elmo is grabbing the globe there, one might think he was “Loving the Earth” a bit too much.

    So, they think that a 14 year old is going to rush to the closet kiosk for an Elmo movie because now they can see it “leagally” without a parent around??? I can just see the long lines of teenagers waiting to see Elmo right now. I am very curious to see if that is just a typo, and that if it actually says that on the movie jacket. Very funny.
