The MPAA seems to be made up of a bunch of old ladies or Fox News Channel devotees these days. Many of the films which were given PG ratings in the 70s and 80s would get an R rating today.
There is more sex on network TV and more violence in kids' video games than there are in many R rated films. But this is a documentary. Kids don't go to see documentaries. If anything, they'll watch it on DVD when their parents rent it.
The "f-bombs" come from Tillman's brother at his memorial, a clip of which has already been shown on TV news channels with the "f-bombs" bleeped out. The Weinstein Company probably knew the ruling wasn't going to be overturned. They probably made the appeal for extra news coverage.
