Ah, the old days with my notebook of web addresses and Lynx. Glad we're making progress here...
The MPAA rating system reminds me of when Montana did away with speed limits on highways in the late 1990's.
Many people assumed you could drive as fast as you want and not get a ticket, ever. What they didn't realize is that the issuance of a ticket was at the officers discretion: if he decided you were going too fast, you could get a ticket, even if you were only going 60mph.
The MPAA's rating system is voluntary, so filmmakers don't have to pay attention to it if they don't want, right?
Theoretically, yes. In actuality it is up to the discretion of the MPAA because theaters choose to abide by the 'voluntary' system.

It's a good thing your 'thought' doesn't make it illegal.
Analogy fail.

The courtroom is not an informal situation, therefore the term should not be used EVER in this context.
