Mild themes? What the fuck does that even mean? It’s so brainlessly stupid that I have to figure that the people on the censorship board just felt compelled to make something up to justify an already levied PG rating.
Here’s a conversation that formed in my head on viewing this:
Parent: Son, I’m afraid I can’t let you watch this DVD.
Junior: But Dad… it’s compulsory for my history class!
Parent: I’m sorry, it’s rated PG. See this label? It has Mild Themes.Junior: But what kind of themes Dad?
Parent: Themes. They’re themes. Not strong themes, but themes all the same. I don’t want you seeing anything involving themes. It starts with themes, and before you know it you’ll be onto concepts and hypotheses. You’ll end up as some kind of philosopher. Or worse, a scientist. I know how these things go.

It’s all about curry. At least it’s not Medium or Hot. Mild is fairly lame though…
I guess if it’s rated ‘Spicy’ you have been warned.
I think that’s code for: It could encourage mildness in less mature viewers.
The warning lets you know to look for signs of mildness in your children. Very helpful.
Some kids are born to be mild.
Themes: the gateway to memes! Oh noes!
Or maybe they meant “mild Thebes”, but the person who classified it didn’t have a cold?
Haha. Literally laughing out loud.
too funny!!!
It just means that younger viewers should be accompanied by their mummies.
Hah!
I take it to mean it’s not very well put together and doesn’t really have a coherent story… Thematically weak if you will.
If it had said “Wild Themes” (ie the M round the proper way) it would sell better perhaps, I mean what’s not to like about mummies, penis sheaths, the afterlife, slaves, cats, pyramids and the lovely canopic jars.
Every kid should know this stuff anyway, even Dr Who featured Horus and half the kids these days grew up on Stargate – which had mild themes at times too.
The King
I’m going to promote Tetherd Cow Ahead as having Mild Themes.
