Lazy Headline

From the Daily Tautology Daily Telegraph comes this wonderfully tautological headline Under-18s are banned from x-rated exhibition

I'm not one to be fussy (*ahem*), but even I thought the whole point of the "X-Rating" was to stop people under 18 seeing material like this.

Even Wikipedia points out that in the UK the X-Rated certificate was changed, and that from 1970 to 1982 it was redefined as meaning "Suitable for those aged 18 and over" - not that I would rely on Wikipedia in my search for the truth any more than I would rely on Mainstream Media ...

Lazy headline, stupid filler, or a "slow news day".. you decide ...
