Topsy turvy

Why is it that a film involving a lot of swearing gets an 18 certificate and a film involving almost any nudity gets an 18 certificate but a film involving mass murder and vigilantism only gets a 12A? After all, you're legally allowed to have sex when you're 16 but you're never going to be legally allowed to kill someone unless you join the army and then only in very specialised circumstances.

Because swearing is common and sex is dirty and immoral but vigilante violence is manly and righteous. Or something equally stupid.
