Jetanie Rating Corporation/Ratings

This is the rating system created by Jetanie Rating Corporation.


 * Universal : General viewing which should be suitable for most young children. Can contain very mild, slapstick (Looney Tunes-like) violence, extreme mild language and no sexual references. Nude stomachs have been allowed past the U rating (although womens' breasts are not).
 * Caution : General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. May contain very mild sexual references as well as mild violence (not as Melee-like) and mild language.
 * 7 : Restricted to children 7 and over. Can contain content similar to Caution, but can have Melee-like violence, animated blood and up to two uses of moderate language.
 * 12 : Restricted to children 12 and over. Can contain real blood, moderate language, sexual references (but nude bodies must still be featureless) and minor drug misuse.
 * 14 : Restricted to teenagers 14 and over. Can contain strong language (but not too frequent), minor use of sex content, drug misuse and strong violence.
 * 16 : Restricted to teenagers 16 and over. Can contain frequent strong language, regular (normally) use of sex content, strong bloody violence and limited use of very strong language. Currently, racial slurs are allowed up to two times, but this is being thought about.
 * 18 : Restricted to adults, can contain very strong violence, very strong language, sex scenes (not introduced as pornography) and strong drug use.
 * 21 : Strong in the ratings, restricted to adults 21 and over. Used for pornography and cases which use children in misuse. Cannot be sold in regular shops and cannot be advertised on television.

Furthermore, 14 rated content can only be broadcasted past 9:00p.m., 16 rated content can only be broadcasted past 10:00p.m. and 18 rated content can only be broadcasted past 11:00p.m. All cannot be broadcasted after 4:00a.m. and 21 rated content cannot be broadcasted, or even advertised, at all.

Examples

 * Most South Park episodes are rated '16'.
 * The Hunchback of Notre Dame was rated 'C' due to its use of religious language and dark theme.
 * The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey was considered for a '7' rating, but was pushed to '12' due to the Melee-like violence.
 * Every episode of The Sweet Treets has been passed as 'U', though some scenes had to be cut in order for this to happen.
