"The King's Speech": That R rating is ridiculous

"The King's Speech" -- which received 12 Oscar nominations Tuesday -- is compelling, inspirational ... and painfully "over-rated."
As Ben Fritz of The Los Angeles Times notes, executive producer and distributor Harvey Weinstein is considering "re-editing the movie to excise coarse language and secure a lower rating that will open 'The King’s Speech' to a broader audience."
The coarse language in question? About three dozen repetitions of two barnyard epitaphs that Colin Firth uses to express his frustration that barnyard epitaphs don't roll easily off his royal tongue.
Said cussing -- among the most inoffensive uses of the words I've ever heard -- tagged the film with an "R" rating, rather than the family-friendly "PG-13."
I understand the reaction to those words when they are used to inflict pain. But when they are employed to express the daunting anguish of a man who is crushed that words so often fail him, the words are non-threatening and undeserving of this mislabeling by the Motion Picture Association of America.
