Totally wrong and misleading 'Parents guide' for 'A Clockwork Orange'

The Parents Guide for 'A Clockwork Orange' is totally wrong. Whoever decided its funny to mislead people need to reevaluate their sense of humor. The movie is R rated and full of sexual contents, nudity, violence and profanity but the parents guide gives ranking 1 out for 10 for everything stating the movie shouldn't have been given R rating in the first place!!! in fact it might have been the second most disturbing movie I have ever seen. I've almost might have seen it with my tween daughter since it has very high rating. Please can IMDB do something about it? I've tried to find the link to report it but couldn't find. Thanks.

Anjali: The parents guide sections on IMDb are done in a wiki style, which means that IMDb users can edit them directly and have their changes show up immediately. If you don't have access to editing the parents guides, you can request access at http://www.imdb.com/helpdesk/swikieditapply.

Unfortunately, there are some users who like to put incorrect information into these guides. Just a month ago someone reported that a user had done the reverse, by putting a long list of fake offensive content into the parents guide for the family film "Norm of the North".

I have already reverted the parents guide for "A Clockwork Orange" to an earlier version, which hopefully is more accurate.

Because the parents guides are completely user-edited, though, I would recommend not relying on them too heavily, due to the potential for vandalism like what you saw. The official certifications (which are listed below the parents guide) are more likely to be accurate since they are not edited in wiki style.

Hopefully IMDb will review the history of the "Clockwork Orange" parents guide (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/parentalguide) and block the vandal from editing parents guides in the future.
