Why We Rated This for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Adults are insensitive and unresponsive to troubled teens, and students don't respect their teachers. Societal problems (prostitution, theft, murder, police corruption) are played for laughs, and jokes are constantly made at others' expense (many groups are picked on, including the mentally ill). Racial slang like "cracker" is common, and characters often use obscene hand gestures.
• Violence:

  Bloody but short-lived injuries caused by things like animal bites and projectiles (bricks, rocks, knives). In one scene, an apartment building collapses, and adult characters discuss the number of likely casualties.
• Sex:

  Female cartoon characters wear bras and panties; in at least one scene, a man is shown in a thong. Genitalia are mentioned (slang terms like "c--k" and "t--t").
• Language:

  Strong expletives like "bitch" and "s--t" (uncensored), and slang terms for genitalia like "c--k." Multiple versions of "f--k" are bleeped.
• Consumerism:

  Cell phones are prevalent among teens.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Both teens and adults smoke.
