Well said!
Indeed - I think this is the most fabulous recommendation out there.  It
doesn't interfere with our constitutional freedoms - and would certainly 
be more effective than our current "Rated R" format at the local theatre 
where 9/10th of folks attending aren't even age verified in most cases.

It's really no different than hiding Hustler, Playboy and the like 
behind either a brown paper wrapper or any of the other means that make 
them available at your local convenience store yet unavailable to young 
eyes who really deserve the opportunity to taint their sexuality on 
their own.

Just my $.02 Euro
