The first time South Park was submitted to the ratings board 5 times, it got an NC-17 (to wit: patently adult material, a rating assured to destroy revenue). Then, with nothing more than a name change (the arguably far more vulgar South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut) the rating was changed to a much more market-pleasing R. Sometimes getting approval just takes a well-placed phone call amounting to "c'mon, people, don't be stupid about this."
