I try so hard to keep things clean and virtuous around Kittywampus, and here’s my reward:
Supposedly I got the NC-17 “based on the presence of the following words”:
* sex (7x)
* death (4x)
* shit (2x)
* abortion (1x)
Is it violent death? Unh-uh. Is it sexy sex? Sadly, no! I haven’t even dropped an F-bomb in a while, much less used any of George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on the air. A little mild poop talk shouldn’t rate worse than a PG-13.
And since when is “schmabortion” taboo?
Dagnabit, I’d like to know what rating I’d get if I actually set out to write a naughty blog. Is there still an X rating beyond the pale of the NC-17?

These things are so fun! I got an R rating for: sex (7x) rape (4x) abortion (3x) bitch (2x) death (1x)
So, extrapolating from your rating, I think we can conclude that “shit” is more offensive than “rape” on this scale?
I do get a kick out of these silly things, too, even though they are *really* dumb sometimes.
Well, much to my surprise, I received a “G” rating despite mentioning violence (campus shootings), contraception, and STDs. Guess I should put in more swears.
I am PG because I use the words bitch and bastard. Yep, seems to be the swears that get ya.
Heather, how ’bout you put in some lovely *pictures* of those STDs? Eek. That ought to merit at least a PG-13. Then again, they might be part of abstinence-only education, and as such, aimed at the pre-K audience on up!
Smirking Cat, your potty talk is pretty mild – but so is mine! In real life I can be *much* saltier than on my blog, but I temper it a bit here because some of my students sometimes drop by, and also because I wouldn’t want to embarrass my mama if she ever read it.
Then again, they might be part of abstinence-only education
That’s absolutely hilarious!
It would be funnier if it weren’t partly *true.* Ack.
I have no idea what I’m rated? I say congrats on your NC 17, it makes me feel so much more adult for reading it.
Hi Molly – great to “see” you. I’ve kept up with posting but have also been really pressed for time, so haven’t gotten round to other people’s blogs – and wow, has a lot been happening for you!
Anyway, to check your rating, you click on my NC-17 rating box and then you’ll get a screen where you enter the URL of your blog. I did that for you and guess what – you came up with a G rating.
I have the recipe, apparently, if you want a more adult rating. (Sigh. I think the damn thing read my *mind* and not my blog – that would make more sense!)
Good grief. I’ve never seen this before. Turns out, I’m NC-17 too! That’s for semen (13x–I’m going to count because I doubt this), dead (1x–that means no dead letter office, dead quiet, deadheads or dead ends, people!) and bastards (2x). S. Cat, how were you able to get bastard in and keep your PG? I guess you only used it once. At least they didn’t call me out on douchebag. Do you think a cat could say “pussy” and get away with it? Or would that move me into the land of “R”?
Henry, you shouldn’t be shocked at your rating: I’ve seen your blog, and it’s brimming pictures of naked pussy! (And quite pretty pussies they are.)
Combine that with 13x semen, and you’re probably illegal in some jurisdictions.
