re: movies (in america)- there are no rules. the MPAA gives an opinion.

If you make a movie and it gets an R rating, you cannot go to them MPAA and ask what you need to take out to get a PG rating. You must change your film and resubmit.

re: tv - Broadcast television (baywatch, the o.c., etc) are not subject to the same rules as cable tv (Mtv). TV programs (and movies that have been modified for broadcast) are voluntarily rated by the broadcast and cable television networks or by the program distributor. Accuracy and consistency is regulated by the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board.

neither of these rating systems describe their expectations/ratings as explicitly as renderositie's TOS nor do they guarantee consistency.
