The U.S. does have a
ratings system that appears at the beginning of every show, but it's not required that it be spoken, only shown. In this case the show was probably rated "G." The only real debate here is whether or not ancient Grecian art and pregnant women with glowing stomachs fit that rating or not. For some people in the U.S. it does not, I'd assume this is a fairly small percent but I could be wrong. In any case the people doing the complaining happen to have disproportionate sway with the federal government. The president and others will do anything to please their theo-con base even if it may upset the more libertarian Republicans.
