You gotta do the Team America: World Police thing. After the MPAA nitpicked all the rude jokes in South Park: Bigger Longer And Uncut - a movie for adults based on a late-night cartoon for adults - Matt and Trey made Team America's first cut as gross as possible. There was a sex scene where one puppet shits on another puppet. The busybodies obviously rated that NC-17, nee X, which is still a commercial death warrant. But in doing so they listed a bunch of censorship that would lower it to R. After some performative bickering, the studio basically submitted the version they actually wanted, and it received minimal scrutiny.
The technical term is door-in-the-face technique.
