PG had tits back in the day (while I wasn't existing.)The current rating system is flawed, but necessary. It could use some reconfiguring but that's not going to happen any time soon. It more or less serves its purpose for studios and mothers alike.

tbh I see more people (who actually care about the ratings) use those websites like familysomething or other that document everything potentially risky in the movie, than who pay attention to the ratings. Most of the kids I knew were either brought to rated R movies by their parents or the parents didn't care if they watched them. It's sort of like the outmoded standards for network tv. No one cares about them anymore except to appease a certain segment or for business reasons. I see the mpaa system used more often than not to push around movie makers and threaten to torpedo their chances of a decent box office, than any affirmation that it's actually helping guide anyone.

Like the 2 fucks rule, that seems awfully arbitrary.
