Burning out his fuse up here alone

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_(film)

Hancock had been reviewed by the Motion Picture Association of America twice and has both times received an R rating instead of the makers' preferred PG-13 rating to target broader audiences. Questionable elements for the MPAA included Smith's character drinking in front of a 17-year-old and the character flying under the influence of alcohol.

So, if you are an otherworldly omnipotent dude (or dudette) that can fly, and are under the age of 17, the MPAA just saved your ass from being exposed to the potentially harmful image of one of your peers flying under the influence. Ask your superhero mom or dad to take you to the film, and have a nice discussion with them afterward about the great responsibility that comes with great power. Oh, and don't do drugs, kids.
