   Nowadays, producers would gratuitously put the topless girl in it just   
   to ensure a PG-13 at least, for commercial reasons.  One of many   
   reasons the rating system (and preferably the whole MPA) ought to be   
   abolished.   
      
   Another example worth noting is 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Those   
   (literally) chilling on-screen murders would earn it a PG-13 today for   
   sure.
