The Green Band Trailer title cards used to say All Audiences... But a couple of years ago they switched to Appropriate Audiences. Not sure why this change was facilitated. I can check Google. It might have to do with assuming all audiences might not have the same standard of approval.
The Red Band Trailer title cards still say Restricted Audiences.
Well, tonight I learned that there are such things as Yellow Band Trailers. From Wikipedia:
Green – When the trailer accompanies another rated feature, the wording on the green title card states "The following preview has been approved to accompany this feature." For trailers hosted on the internet, the wording has been slightly altered to "The following preview has been approved for appropriate audiences."[3]
Yellow: A yellow title card exists solely for trailers hosted on the internet, with the wording stipulating "The following preview has been approved only for age-appropriate internet users." The MPAA defines "age-appropriate internet users" as visitors to sites either frequented mainly by grown-ups or accessible only between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. The yellow card is reserved for trailers previewing films rated PG-13 or stronger.[4]
Red: A red card indicates that the trailer is restricted and when it accompanies another feature, the wording states "The following restricted preview has been approved to accompany this feature only." For trailers hosted on the internet, the wording is tweaked to "The following restricted preview has been approved for appropriate audiences."[3] The red title card is reserved for trailers previewing R and NC-17 rated films. Trailers hosted on the internet carrying a red title card require viewers to pass an age verification test which entails user aged 17 and older to match their names, birthdays and ZIP codes to public records on file.[4]
Also, if you are having trouble sleeping, read this shit.
If the movie is rated R then the appropriate audience approved are those who qualify to see rated R movies. The verbiage just reflects that anyone can do whatever on the internet and therefore they're not liable.
This bothered me a little once--and it still bothers the wife--but it kinda makes sense and even to the extent that it contains shades of doublespeak, it's certainly not the worst offender in that arena. A good choice for MIBMMTIS.

Oh my gods yes!
I have hated that language since it showed up in (it seems) 2009.
Thank you, Irk!
I want to see the trailers that are approved for Inappropriate Audiences.
@2many2no I'm with ya on this one. :-)
Irk is approved for approved audiences.
@PocketBrain He has a green card?
@2many2no He has a green light.
@2many2no He has green blood.

@nadroj Why is this guy holding a paint sample?
Uh, Irk - you've got a little thing going on with your hair. Maybe we need a Two-fer Tuesday on Brylcreem?
@cinoclav A little dab'll do ya.
@cinoclav I thought I was alone in my love for Brylcreem!

Ah, the days when it was En Vogue to Free Your Mind.
Irk is so adorable.
@emilyap Thanks for the earworm. I have that album.
You should definitely see This Film Not Yet Rated- all about the rating process, and as the title says, there is no rating for the movie.
@dashcloud I haven't seen it yet -- are there darts involved, or dice?
@PocketBrain Cash, and bribes.
Irk my little man, I will be appropriate and say I love you. In a normal way.
Tipper Gore is smokin', don't ya think?

This episode is weak sauce.
Why is the trailer not simply rated R
@matthew Maybe it's PG-13, still appropriate for an R-rated movie
