So um. What's with the magical "you are about to view content that may only be suitable for adults -- oh you're not 18 stfu!" thing that has suddenly appeared in my flist? How's lj working this one? Is it something you do or just something they've implemented, er, somehow?

I am unusually irritated, considering it's not even like I actively seek out adult content, really. I mean, whatever, I'm 18 in a month and I can just change my age on LJ, but still, hey, fuck off, livejournal.

It's almost the same with me. My mom is a biology teacher, so I knew where babies came from and knew about STDs since I was a little girl too and I haven't feel the urge to rape or torture anyone either. Knowing about sex doesn't make you a sex maniac, but makes you more aware and responsible.

Down here, in Chile, movie ratings are also different from America. There is a National Motion Picture Rating Board chaired by the education undersecretary and composed mainly by teachers, psychologists and film directors and their main focus when rating is censor violence of any kind. Sex is really secondary. We've just got all audiences, over 14 and over 18 and so far nobody has complained.
