A censorship sticker, very much like the Seal of Approval that comic books were made to have well into the 70's. It warns parents of possible material that may be considered obcene without any specific details about what is objectionable.
Perpetrated by a censorship lobby consisting of upper middle class conservative white women, such as Tipper Gor, who felt it necessary to police the music industry for messages that were politically or socially inconsistent with their own. This label dampens sales which in turn hampers musical, lyrical, or artistically creativite material.
At its inception the parental advisory sticker targeted mainly such musicians as Frank Zappa but today the target is hip-hop and rappers along with video game creators

My mom didnt let me but the CD because it had a parental advisory sticker, which she said had it like that because it talked about raping women. But later when I listed to it it just was criticizing American and the LAPD.

Get the Parental Advisory mug.Lazy parents that are unable to parent their children, due to severe brain damage. They feel that they shouldn't have to parent their children, and when they give their children access to anything they don't want their kids to see, they feel that it is not their own fault for enabling the child to see the questionable content, but the entertainment industry for "corrupting" their "innocent" children's minds. They are also very naive, thinking that because they don't want their kids to see it, nobody should be allowed to. They are typically too busy bathing in their own stupidity, or arguing about something else that "corrupts" their children at a PTA meeting, to actually monitor what their kids do, so they try to force others to do it for them, by stripping the rights of everyone else.
Typical Parents Television Council supporter
"It's not MY job to parent my kids, that's the entertainment industry and the governments job!"
"How dare those evil corporations show something I don't want my kids to watch!"
"What? Did you just say parent your children? That's absurd! Why would I take care of my kids anyways? That's what the TV's for, right?"

I think it's pretty hypocritical that my parents won't let me have sex, because they obviously have.

Get the Parents mug.A bi-annual night of stress, guilt and recrimination where stressed out/ tired teachers who have spent the night frantically marking books converse with defensive / stressed parents who feel like they're being judged.
Parent's often don't let on who's mum and dad they are so teachers play a strange kind of guessing game trying to work out which of their pupils could be spawned by this combination of people.
They also can't risk calling them by the same surname of their children as theres a pretty good chance they're different.
Teachers try to be diplomatic and vague whilst parents want answers.
