Who the in holy hell does Netflix thing they are? Don’t get me wrong, I love Netflix — always have, always will. But absolute power corrupts absolutely, and I fear that’s the road we’re headed down with Netflix.
At the beginning of the month, Netflix added one of the most iconic American movie franchises to their library: the iconic Back to the Future trilogy.
However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed that the streaming giant appears to be taking some liberties with the films, as some Twitter users have noticed some bizarre cuts and edits in Back to the Future Part II.

Seriously, what’s that all about? Back to the Future Part II was rated PG when it came out back in 1989! The powers that be already decided that the content was appropriate for kids.
Now, here we are 30 years later, and Netflix apparently finds a quick frame of a nude magazine advertisement to be too racy.What makes this so distressing is that the Back to the Future trilogy is a *staple* of Americana. Apple pie, baseball, beer… and Back to the Future.
