Valenti vs. Freedom (Again!)

Proving once again that there's no freedom not worth challenging, Jack Valenti apparently thinks film reviewer Richard Roeper's recommendation that "everyone should see" Fahrenheit 911 is a blatant call for criminality. Why? Well because the R-Rating that the MPAA bestowed upon the film means kids aren't supposed to see it. And in this case it means the MPAA won't allow 911 to use Roeper's suggestion in its ads. You see, in Valenti's America you have to get permission before you can exercise your freedoms.
