Quoting Ken Cole:

The reviewer erred in this case.  We enforce 'adult' only for pornographic films, or in cases where the cover depicts full nudity.  I've reprocessed the original contribution and withdrawn the resubmitted one.


Not trying to be overly picky, but this statement is about as clear as some of the SCOTUS opinions on the topic  .  The original poster referred to both adult "rating" as well as adult "genre."  Is this statement intended to apply to (1) rating, (2) genre or (3) both?  It makes sense to me that it would apply to "rating,"  however (to me), it does not that it would also apply to "genre."  If it is intended to apply to both then it essentially renders the "adult" genre superfluous.

I am also curious to know whether the use of the word "enforce" was intentional here.  There are many arcane laws on the books throughout the U.S. that, while entirely valid laws, are simply not "enforced" by the relevant authorities.  So, I am curious to know whether this was a statement that the rules are what they are but here's how we enforce them.

Wouldn't a ground rule here be that if the film has an MPAA rating, use that; only if it has none, choose between simply Not Rated and Adult.

Should Ken's "Adult" description be considered the requirement for that label, or would it be a matter of taste to use it for DVDs which are non-hardcore but where erotic nudity is the main point of the presentation, e.g. Playboy video calendars?
