        I am currently working on a presentation focusing on the parental
advisory - explicit lyrics label that has been attached to "offensive"
albums  in 1990.  I was curious how
 
since 1990.  The music industry seems to view this label as
censorship, while the movie industry has tolerated a labelling system of its
own for years.  In your opinion, how similiar are these two systems?  By
tagging a film as "R" or even "XXX", has the movie been censored in any way,
or is it just helpfully categorized for the consumer's convenience?
 
                                  any and all input is greatly appreciated,
