As Volk's comment shows, this sort of thing can blow up in a group's face.
When a Washington wives organization called the PMRC did this with rock music in the 1980s, it ended up having the unintended consequences of making the "forbidden" records more popular than ever.
The PMRC came up with a list called the "Filthy 15," so teens started going into record stores asking for those records. Then stores started doing "Filthy 15" promotions. One of the weirdest things to come out of this was that the obscure metal band W.A.S.P. became instant stars because their song "Fuck Like a Beast" made the list.
So thanks to the PMRC's brilliant ratings warnings, millions of kids who wouldn't have otherwise heard "Fuck Like a Beast" bought the record. I suspect the same thing will happen with films here.
None of these people, apparently, ever understood the very basic biblical concept of "forbidden fruit" being the tastiest kind of all.
