Brief fucking language

Last night I had a glass of wine and watched a little of The Apprentice before heading out to see one of the best burlesque shows ever. During the commercial break, they showed a preview for The Forgotton, that new Julianne Moore flick. Looks pretty interesting -- I'll probably watch it on In Demand. At the end, they showed the rating. PG-13. Intense thematic material. Some violence and brief language.

Brief language? What on Earth does that mean? That there will be a few monosyllabic curse words or that it's mostly a silent film with a few choice phrases thrown in to break up the monotony? Where was the brief language warning on Brown Bunny? Could the Motion Picture Association of America please hire a copyeditor? I'm assuming there is some profanity in this film. Why not just say it? One shouldn't have to assume in this situation.

What if this catches on? One day my mother will call me up and say, "It's all that brief language. That's why you're still single." Maybe I'll one day wash my stepdaughter's mouth out with soap for all that brief language she and the other kids are throwing around. Children will be suspended for using brief language in math class. It will be madness. Absolute madness.
