Why are books the one medium that carry no warning?
A good question, and one that I had been wondering about myself for a long time. Take, for instance, 'Bridge to Terabitha' - the movie version has a rating/warning, but the book does not. Does this mean "They"[1] assume the book is less upsetting? Do "They" think that less people will read it than see the film? If so, why? I cried over that book when I was a child. :/
[1] "They" being persons reponsible for ratings and warnings (I'm guessing that's mainly the Censor's job?)
