Mr. Giromini gave me an interesting idea today. After having said something very mildly improper in fisix class, he continued with something along the lines of, "You know how, on TV, at the start of every show, they have those ratings in the corner? You know, like TV-MA or TV-PG or whatever. Wouldn't it be funny if I had those on my door? 'This lecture has been rated Parental Guidance Suggested.'" So I was wondering what those ratings would be if they were to show up. These would be my guess:

First, the gentlest rating, IA-FP. These classes are specifically designed for
freshpeople, (but can often be enjoyed by other age groups as well!) and contain little to no objectionable content. Sometimes, this rating may be accompanied by a sub-rating, such as tan(x):

This means that the content is still appropriate for all ages, but may include tangents. The lecture may include elements such as
The Impossible Quiz, or other similarly random, but admittedly fun, stuff.

The IA-F15 rating indicates that the class has been deemed acceptable for all but the youngest IA students. One can determine the age they must use by taking their real age, adding their GPA, subtracting the number of hours weekly they spend doing biology homework, subtracting the number of times they insisted that a match beat Mike Tyson on Question 2 of The Impossible Quiz, then adding the number of times Moodle has gone down this school year. If you can't remember any of these, the default age is 14.9. IA-F15 will always include a sub-rating telling why it was rated this way: FX means potentially objectionable
fisix-related content...

...while F(X) means potentially objectionable math-related content.

The next rating is IA-Y?. This type of humor is not directed specifically at freshpeople, and upperclassmen, staff, and even administrators are likely to appreciate the techniques used. This means that the lesson will contain material that will have you asking, "IA, why!?" Mr. Giromini will, however, be able to provide a reasonable justification for why the content in question is necessary. Therefore, it is not as strict as:

IA-YN, containing material that will beg the same question, but will see that question met with, "Why not?" And finally, the strictest of all:

IA-MG, for Mr. Giromini, (or his first name, which I won't put here without permission,) indicates that the lecture may contain certain elements unsuitable for immature audiences. If you plan to attend a class rated IA-MG, just understand that if you want to enjoy the humor, you'll have to accept that, sometimes, it's gonna be you that does something stupid.
