Lifetime’s Rating System

I was clicking around Hulu looking for something to watch and noticed the Lifetime Movie Network offers several of their movies through the Hulu service. As a lover of all things ridiculous (Hello? Mother May I Sleep With Danger?), I clicked through to see what they had to offer and saw this:

Close up of that description please?

More notably, the TAGS …

Directly compared to the rating for that program …

I don’t know what is more “reckless” – rating a XXX porn PG or falsely selling a PG movie as XXX porn.

I love you Lifetime.

I’m not sure if it’s the case with Hulu, but I know for other sites tags can be user-submitted and there is actually a tag spam problem that causes this. The title and description seem like it could actually be porn though, so who knows.

Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? A classic. I guess I can pass on this Lifetime (or Hulu) rating system to the couple with the screaming baby during my viewing of Inception…and I do believe they changed a diaper during one of the many dream layers. I wish Leo had broken that third wall and looked out into the audience saying, What… the HELL????

Ha – I would totally watch that movie labeled xxx and featuring Antonio.
He’s a hottie!
