I remember them relating a story with how they got around the MPAA when making Team America: World Police by beating them at their own game. They knew the MPAA would scoff at their puppet sex scene, so their originally submitted cut had the much more graphic sex scene (which incidentally is now the Director's cut). That way, when the MPAA rejected it with an NC-17 rating, they could cut it back to what they originally wanted and re-submit. Sure enough, they got their R rating.
