The Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) film-rating system is used in the United States and its territories to rate a film's suitability for certain audiences, based on its content. The MPAA rating system is a voluntary scheme that is not enforced by law; films can be exhibited without a rating, though many theaters refuse to exhibit non-rated or NC-17 rated films. Non-members of MPAA may also submit films for rating. Other media (such as television programs and video games) may be rated by other entities. The MPAA rating system is one of various motion picture rating systems that are used to help parents decide what films are appropriate for their children.
The MPAA's rating system is administered by the Classification & Ratings Administration (CARA), an independent agency.
Since the late 1990s, the MPAA film ratings have been as follows:
If a film has not been submitted for a rating or is an uncut version of a film that was submitted, the labels Not Rated (NR) or Unrated (UR) are often used. Uncut/extended versions of films that are labeled "Unrated" also contain warnings saying that the uncut version of the film contains content that differs from the theatrical release and may not be suitable for minors.
PG-13 is the debut studio album by American drag queen Sharon Needles, released on January 29, 2013. It included a cover of Ministry's 1984 single (Every Day Is) Halloween.
PG-13 debuted at number 186 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 3,000 copies in its first week.
PG-13 was the tag team of J.C. Ice and Wolfie D who worked for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and United States Wrestling Association (USWA). PG-13 briefly competed in Puerto Rico for the World Wrestling Council (WWC) in 1995, W*ING in Japan, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1997 and World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 2000. They were members of the original incarnation of the Nation of Domination in the USWA.
In the United States Wrestling Association in the early 1990s, Jamie Dundee turned on his father and became J.C. Ice, a rapper. Dundee formed a tag team known as PG-13 with Wolfie D. PG-13 dominated the USWA tag team division throughout the mid-1990s, winning the USWA Tag Team Championship on fifteen occasions. After losing to Bill Dundee, PG-13 were obliged to leave the USWA. They returned shortly thereafter under masks as The Cyberpunks, with Dundee known as "Ice" and Wolfie D known as "Fire". After some time, The Cyberpunks unmasked and reverted to being PG-13.
