Nice read, and indeed further proof that the BBFC, or at least the majority of people who work there, are just brainless morons who think thy're all that and that their morals automatically means they are right to threaten and cut etc etc anything they dont agree with....

ESPECIALLY when the DVD is R18 so far stronger than 18. It can only be sold in licensed sex shops regardless of being uncut or cut.

Not that it's the point but I do wonder who'd want to see it.

Films still banned by the BBFC:
