Regular Show - Inappropriate?

OK, I don't want to sound like I'm whining. I love this show, it
appeared on Cartoon Network recently and it's extremely hilarious and
action-packed, unlike really any other kids' show I've seen ever.
Quite possible and simply my favorite show, and I've only seen about
10 episodes so far.

But what perplexed me after watching these episodes... I noticed that
they should really have a TV-14 rating, not a PG rating... most of the
time, anyway. I mean, they say mildly "bad" language like "pissed,
suck, balls" and other things like that. Not really bad language, but
CN or any other kid's network would never... EVER... allow words like
that in their shows, but for some reason Regular Show seems to slip
away from that.

And about the violence... I mean it's really cool and it's awesome and
entertaining to watch more than any other kids' show, but... lol...
it's pretty violent. There's actual real punches in the face and kicks
and such, and characters sometimes actually die. They DIE! In other
shows networks would never allow that to happen, they'll just have
characters "knocked-out" or "defeated", but in this show, you actually
see people get burned to ashes and don't appear anymore, and people
explode and in one episode the villain literally got cut in half and
exploded (you could sort of see blood as well).

At one point the characters even got literally drunk (off of soda and
coffee but not off of beer). lol

After the violence and the language stuff, we got some sexual
stuff.... I mean most people who complain about this show say
"Mordecai has a crush on this other character", but that's not a
problem at all, you see that in many other shows. What IS a problem is
that in one episode "Party Pete" (you can watch it on YouTube), the
Party Pete guy literally did this pelvic thrust thing around all the
girls (I thought it was hilarious), but I'm wondering how did this
manage to get a PG rating? lol and it even zoomed in right on one of
the chick's breasts at one point (watch the episode).

I personally have no problem with this stuff, and I'm not even
concerned... but... I'm just asking, HOW ON EARTH did this stuff get
on Cartoon Network, and not even at night time? It is literally as
dirty as a TV-14 show. I love it, I think it's one of the greatest
shows of all time, but... lol seriously how do you think this was able
to air on CN during regular hours? Thanks.
