Coming to Hamilton this weekend I see. Had to laugh about the R13 rating when games like Grand Theft Auto get R18 ratings for showing a little boob, but Puppets having "Explicit Sex Scenes" can get by on an R13 and the media don't even bat an eyelid.

Anyone else think its ok for a 13 year old to watch a show with puppets having sex ?

Live performances are not subject to classification.

I saw the show a few years ago in Auckland, and I'd have no issue with a 13 year old seeing it. There are plenty of worse things out there. Shortland Street comes to mind.

Doesn't that show have the classic song 'internet is for porn'. I saw it a few years ago, nothing I'd object my 9 year old to watch (We've had the birds & bees talk) but to be honest under 13 wouldn't enjoy it as much - to many adult concepts
