Why don't movie ratings just have letters indicating objectionable material? (feddit.org)

LVNSD would be much more informative than "Rated R," or, "PG-13."

L - Language
V - Violence
N - Nudity
S - Sex
D - Drug use
B - Blasphemy

Let's include recommended age at the end, so theaters can know whom to exclude (legal reasons):

Family Guy LVNDB-18

Dexter's Lab V-8

Looney Toons VD-8

Telly Tubbies 0

Surely A Clockwork Orange released two years later is also rated X? But looks like nope, that was rated R which is pretty wild all things considered.

The movie was rated Xin the UK and Kubrick himself had it pulled after he found out that young hooligans were imitating the violence.
