...about how Regular Show's ratings should be TV-14!
The content of this show is really not all that bad, regardless of your age group. Words like "crap" and "pissed" are words kids hear all the time. And if not, it's better they hear them now because they'll end up hearing them their whole lives, once their parents unshelter them. Expressions like "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" are drastic improvements from their traditional versions.
The mild sexual references are no cause for concern. These jokes go right over the average kid's head. They are meant to entertain the teenagers and adults watching the program. Basically every "kid's show" does this as a ploy to attract adult viewers. Spongebob Squarepants, for example, has many sexual references. In a kid's life a few years later, these sexual double-entendres will seem tame.
Some have argued the show should be rated TV-14 because of the violence and encounters with death. Death happens, people! Come on. What we shouldn't be doing is letting our kids watch shows like Dora the Explorer (I know, it seems silly to say this). The characters in that show are in constant situations of peril, yet the show fails to reveal the consequenses of those actions.
The same goes for "playing punchies" and other seemingly violent activities that occur in Regular Show. These actions show that people can get hurt, and that punching someone doesn't with a big, cartoon-style *POW!*. As Skips and Rigby showed in the episode "Death Punchies", attempting to hurt someone, even just in fun, can land you in the hospital.
Basically, all this concern over the show's PG rating and who its intended audience is a waste of time. It's taking away from our enjoyment of the show. Let's not worry about these things. The news is meant to worry you. Regular Show is meant to make you smile.

"What the... CJ?" Mordecai says in disbelief. "No, I'm not Cloudy Jay, I'm her BFF, Cloudy May. When she told me about what you did to her on the phone, I got so mad. And you're dating this... red chicken?" the cloud yells. "And you had to get me on Couple Corral!" Mordecai says to Rigby.. "Wait!" says Rigby. "How far is it to the arcade?" "About five minutes, WHY?" says Eileen. ""Destroyer of Worlds!" says Rigby "Are you crazy? That thing almost made Rigby Roast out of you and you're releasing him!"
