I tried to watch "The New Normal" on Hulu today...and was told it's for "mature"

audiences...and I would have to log in.

What BS...there was nothing sexual or even risque about it, especially last night's episode...some asshat at Hulu has a homophobic bug up his or her ass.

who speaks at an above-third-grade level....

are decidedly NC 17 but I don't think Hulu meant that. I remember back when Ellen came out I happened to have an old tv guide and they had changed the tv rating of one of her episodes from its first run (pre coming out) to a higher level on its second run (post coming out). I think it was from tv pg to tv pg 13.
