As a side note this is the kind of thing that sometimes Pi$$ES people off about publications like the NY'er, despite the generally high regard I have for them, and is certainly contributing to the criticism. In this case, they just come off as being too intellectual and too sophisticated by half.

Another fence-sitting response.

Again, I am not suggesting that they do not or should not have the right to publish this or anything else. I am not a proponent of censorship and I recognize the cover for what it is. However, it is in poor taste and perhaps more irresponsible than the rest of the 'circumstances' on your long list which unlike this one likely originated from ignorant or biased sources. And still another.

Why don't you just take a position.

I specifically cited the Motion Picture Code because it was NOT mandated by government law. The studios had the right to continue making films without restriction; they formulated the code themselves because they feared public opinion that deemed some of their work in poor taste and irresponsible.
