"Darfur Now" getting a PG rating is really disappointing. I wonder if the filmmakers even went into Darfur for their footage. The mayhem going on there is surely more gruesome than under 13 year olds can handle.

Yeah, that puzzled me. It must be unbelievably sugar coated. Simply describing the horror that's happening in the region is enough to warrant an R rating in my book.
