The Christian Analysis of American Culture project may be the most insane piece of anthropological work in the history of earth. They take six criteria for judging a movie or TV show — “Wanton Violence/Crime, Impunity/Hate, Sex/Homosexuality, Drugs/Alcohol, Offense to God, Murder/Suicide”, which coincidentally spell out WISDOM — and rank the shows according to whether or not they are “unacceptable in accordance with the teachings of Jesus”.

They even have an enormous page devoted to explaining their “CAP Entertainment Media Analysis Model” — which “computes the density of unacceptable material in a program and presents it as a number, i.e., the Influence Density (ID).” Dig this page offering an explanation of how it works, and, I beg of you, do not miss the chart near the bottom showing how Mary Poppins and Black Beauty rank compared to Demolition Man and Deathwish II. Finer pseudoscience cannot be had.
