Via Jennifer Ouellette, I find that there's a site where you can get a movie-style rating for your blog. And the answer is:

Now you're PG. I wonder how many times fuck has to show up to make it PG-13, R, and NC-17?

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:

* death (4x)
* dangerous (3x)
* suicide (2x)
* dick (1x)

Oh. My. Nonexistent. Gawd.

The words "death, dangerous, suicide"?

The Salman Rushdie post accounts for all the death and suicide(the usual riots and burning of effigies in Pakistan, and the usual death threats; "the writer's nightmare will not end until the moment of his death"; 2 commenters' "responsible for at least 50 to 60 deaths worldwide from murder and rioting"; the award of the knighthood excused suicide bombing; If honoring a brilliant writer sparks suicide bombings and riots) .

The sidebar and header account for the danger: Alexander Hamiliton (a more dangerous engine of arbitrary government), David Hume (endeavor the refutation of any hypothesis, by a pretence of its dangerous consequences to religion and morality), and Mark Twain (Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time).

And "dick"? Philip K. Dick (Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.)

You know what? I just edited my template to get rid of the Dick quote ... and now I'm NC17 because of "shoot" and "hurt" and "abortion" (I added a post on Paul Hill Days) ... oh, and way more "death".

So it's not sex that does it.
