This rating sounds about right

This one's been floating around ScienceBlogs and the blogosphere in general; so I thought, what the hell? (Oh, wait, did my use of the word "hell" affect my rating?) In any case, this sounds about right:

You'll be happy to know that I don't really plan on trying to "evolve" to rate a PG-13 or R rating. I really see no need, although sometimes the comments probably earn such ratings.

Unfortunately, some of your breast cancer posts (here) are rated NC-17.

Mentioning death and danger enough times will jack your rating up to NC-17, too, without any sexy stuff at all. Even if the danger is all in Alexander Hamilton quotes about the government...

AnnR, I'm not going back to the rating site again, but I believe it was 46 mentions of breast and 1 mention of death that got the BC article an NC-17.
