South Africa's ratings system has little letters on the ratings symbol that specify why that film got that rating. A film with strong language might get a 13 L rating. Back in my day there were 4 categories: Language Sex Nudity Violence Now there are 11 mandatory categories and 2 optional ones (blasphemy and photo sensitivity). So one of the most complex ratings you can get for a film in South Africa is "18 L S SV N V D H P CT IAT CI B PPS" That has to go on the poster. Kinda useful though. My parents wouldn't give a single poo poo about language, for instance. Here's an odd thing: SA's got 18, X and XX ratings. X is for hardcore porn, XX is for messed up poo poo which you can bring into the country (from Germany?) but can't buy or sell here. Films with an 18 rating can, if the channel wants to, be shown on free-to-air channels post-watershed. One of our channels broadcast softcore on Saturday nights. For some reason hentai usually gets an 18 instead of an X, so technically you can legally broadcast La Blue Girl on FTA TV in SA.
