When I told my friends that my site is rated “R”, instead of being sympathetic, they are jealous that their sites are rated “G” instead. I want to be rated “G”. I want to be universal and to know that even a 3 years old kid may find my site interesting without worrying that I am a bad influence to that 3 years old. I was actually furious wanting to shoot and kill any insect in sight or to drop a bomb to desecrate the entire cluster of ant colonies (yes I do have ants problem at home that just won’t go away … and I bet that last sentence will earn me another 2 weeks of R rated status).
In retrospect, if I continue to write reviews on movies that are NC-16 rated, M18 rated, and R(A) rated, continue to write reviews on music albums that comes with that “Parental Advisory – Explicit Content” sticker, continue to post lyrics of my songs that is dark in nature – it is only fair that my site is rated “R”.
Still … that red sticker displeases me.
Footnote: Some friends of mine out of curiosity asked how exactly my site is rated. Basically, this online dating site provides a keyword search service on the submitted site’s front page and the submitted site is then classified based on the results of this search. Many people relate “R” rating to vulgarity and explicit sex but less so to violence and blood and gore.

Au contraire I think a 3-year-old might find your site interesting, if the red sticker is to be believed. Too interesting…
I got “R” too.
My blog is rated PG…
Saw on Wilfrid’s blog that his blog has been given a R rating *sorry buddy*. Out of curiosity, I ran my blog through the same test and mine got a PG rating. Haha.
There’s nothing scientific or cutting-edge about the test – I think it mer…
Farinelli – I have just visited your site and you well deserve a “R”. LOL.
Sing Chyun – Actually at the moment I realised that my site is rated “R”, I quickly ran a test on all my friends’ sites (including yours) to see if any of you get a “R”. None.
This is just not fair … ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha, even the [in]famous Xiaxue (xiaxue dot blogspot dot com) only managed a mild NC-17. Yours is indeed a hard-to-beat feat.
😉
Good gracious me. I doubt if I can get that “G” rating if I continue writing those reviews … ha ha ha.
Interestingly, our friend Choong Yong’s site is totally clean. Not a single bad word. Making of a new politician eh?
I am one of those with the “G” rating… *sigh* so sad… I want my “R” rating! But I know why you got the “R” rating… because anything that has been “tainted” by me turns to the dark side… muahahahaaaa….
I also think it’s all the influence of rock music man. My parents never let me listen to those shit until I started to ignore them. And you know what… until today I still can’t completely ignore them, maybe just for a couple of weeks at a stretch but never forever 😛
Oh man … the dark side. Stay away from me! I wanna be good!
Rock music is bad eh? I still remember one of Iron Maiden’s classic – “Bring Your Daughter … to the Slaughter”.
I think you just added another word to contribute to your R rating – Slaughter.
What’s wrong with R? I thought it’s cool … and it’s not like you were trying too hard to get an R. It comes naturally and I thought it was good to get an R.
Your readers are not exactly 12 years old anyway …
Darkspore – Unintentionally, I swear.
Cynthia – Erm, I really want to be Universal … I really want to be good … lol.
Don’t try to be good. Try to be exceptional. As I always tell my victims… resistance is futile!
Darkspore – I shall resist! Till the end!
