   Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  The guys behind the South Park movie   
   contrasted their experience doing the SP movie vs. doing Team   
   America-- with the SP movie, it'd get returned with a NC-17 rating,   
   occasionally noting which scenes were problematic, but not why.  So   
   they'd recut it to make it, if possible, even WORSE, and get back   
   another rating, and so on.  Whereas with TA:WP, they'd get back   
   helpful notes explaining which parts of which scenes were problematic,   
   and helpful suggestions as to what they could do about it.   
      
   It's merely a coincidence that SP:BLAU was produced by Comedy   
   Partners, and TA:WP was produced by Paramount, of course.  I wouldn't   
   want to appear to criticize the objectivity of the MPAA board. :-\
