CRASH'D: Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids

A posse of DC crashers joined in on a march and rally held by the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, in which protest organizers led the crowd to the downtown offices of the Motion Picture Association of America to demand that smoking be removed from movies, or, barring that, that films that contain smoking be given a mandatory R-rating. Children, after all, are very susceptible to what they see in movies, and since parents clearly shouldn't have to shoulder the enormous burdens of parenthood on their own, it stands to reason that the MPAA should step in and help them out.

This is a free country. They want artists to censor themselves, an artist - that's just wrong, what next. The screaming anti-smoking minority is not the majority, most people think they are just nuts. A smoker friendly movie? I'll watch it twice.
