...and the Academy Orwell Award goes to...

News Item:

The Motion Picture Association of America announced that images of adults smoking will now be considered a factor when deciding what rating a movie should receive. Raters will now pay close attention to "depictions that glamorize smoking or movies that feature pervasive smoking outside of a historic or other mitigating context."

=====

Next step: Breakfast scenes with cholesterol-laden eggs and whole milk will be slapped with an "R" rating, too.
