MPAA to Indy 4 Trailer-Makers: "Please to be thinking of the children."

It seems like the US version of the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was Edited For Content. Look at the differences in one of the first new shots shown here. The machine guns in the foreground have been CGI'ed out of the picture and some weird, freaky magic pants have been pasted onto Ray Winstone's body (like he didn't have enough of that done to him in Beowulf).
Is this the kind of culture we're living in now? Where we can't be trusted to handle seeing close-ups of guns? I say close-ups, because the shot just before the one I linked to very obviously shows the guns that are so conspicuously absent in the next shot.
And I just have to laugh at being protected from seeing guns in a series where one of the main character's most famous and iconic moments is shooting a man who is wielding a sword against him.

I never knew that about Drew Barrymore - I always figured he did it because he thought it was too traumatic for kids in general. (Though now that I think of it I think he sort of sees Barrymore as a daughter type figure to him ... )
