Live Poll: MPAA 12 Biggest Ratings Controversies
Hello, poll forum, another idea for your consideration, feedback welcome, thank you.
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) is an American trade association representing the five major film studios of the United States, as well as the video streaming service Netflix.
The MPA established guidelines for film content which resulted in the creation of the Motion Picture Production Code in 1930.

I think the article's point about Showgirls is that the rating hurt the film's box office, as expressed here:
Perhaps you should also be consistent and call it MPA in the title since that is the current name.
