I still remember the firestorm of controversy over the use of "penis breath" as an insult in "E.T."

Now, of course, it means that it's perfectly in line with primetime television and therefore entirely healthful for any child over the age of ten to watch -- i.e., "not R."

Similarly*, an "R" rating used to mean you were pretty much guaranteed some gratuitous breasticles, and maybe even a muff shot (Porky's, anyone?). Now an "R" rating means they say "fuck" a few times.
*Or differently, since as usual I don't quite understand your point, perhaps because I don't know if you can say "penis breath" on primetime non-cable TV.
