Quote of the Week:
"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Production Code of 1930Some fun rules for movies from 1930-1968 taken VERBATIM from the original text. (I copied and pasted the best ones here.)
-The sanctity of the institution of marriage and the home shall be upheld. Pictures shall not infer that low forms of sex relationship are the accepted or common thing.
-Excessive and lustful kissing, lustful embraces, suggestive postures and gestures, are not to be shown.
-In general, passion should so be treated that these scenes do not stimulate the lower and baser element.
-Sex perversion or any inference to it is forbidden. (DEREK's note: This includes homosexuality.)
-White slavery shall not be treated.
-Miscegenation (sex relationships between the white and black races) is forbidden.
-Sex hygiene and venereal diseases are not subjects for motion pictures.
-Scenes of actual child birth, in fact or in silhouette, are never to be presented.
-Pointed profanity (this includes the words, God, Lord, Jesus, Christ - unless used reverently - Hell, S.O.B., damn, Gawd), or every other profane or vulgar expression however used, is forbidden.
-Complete nudity is never permitted. This includes nudity in fact or in silhouette, or any lecherous or licentious notice thereof by other characters in the picture.
-The effect of nudity or semi-nudity upon the normal man or woman, and much more upon the young and upon immature persons, has been honestly recognized by all lawmakers and moralists.
-Nudity can never be permitted as being necessary for the plot.
-But dances which suggest or represent sexual actions, whether performed solo or with two or more; dances intended to excite the emotional reaction of an audience; dances with movement of the breasts, excessive body movements while the feet are stationary, violate decency and are wrong. (DEREK's note: Mennonites take note.)
-The reason why ministers of religion may not be comic characters or villains is simply because the attitude taken toward them may easily become the attitude taken toward religion in general. Religion is lowered in the minds of the audience because of the lowering of the audience's respect for a minister. (DEREK's note: Because, as we know, people in high positions in the church never do anything wrong.)
-The treatment of bedrooms must be governed by good taste and delicacy. (DEREK's note: Meaning Mr. and Mrs. Brady just masturbate in their separate beds.)
-The history, institutions, prominent people and citizenry of other nations shall be represented fairly. (DEREK's note: Because it's fair to say that American Indians are savages.)
-Because of its evil consequences, the drug traffic should not be presented in any form. The existence of the trade should not be brought to the attention of audiences.
Here is one of the reasons for instating this:
-Small communities, remote from sophistication and from the hardening process which often takes place in the ethical and moral standards of larger cities, are easily and readily reached by any sort of film. (DEREK's note: Because the lower class is morally retarded.)
