A horrifying end to the world – censored out of existence.
I figure it would start with somewhere small. The BBFC gets irritated with some small town in Devon because they’re still banging on about having their own currency, and so it censors them away. No one would care because those people had it coming. Hell, we’ve all been censoring them from existence in our minds for years, why shouldn’t what we think and reality be the same thing?
Finding similar reasons, they’d probably start censoring other towns out of being. Then cities. ‘Oh, there was a murder in Liverpool? Well, we don’t want people copying it, so Liverpool doesn’t exist anymore. Where do The Beatles come from now? What Beatles? Sorry, we didn’t like the look of one of them. Looked shifty. They’re gone too now.’ You’d want to object, but no one wants to appear as being pro-murder (it tends to cause social engagements to dry up), so best to keep quiet.
Of course, this would all take time. Enough time that it would coincide with Sarah Palin’s inevitable and horrifying election as the President of the USA. It’s hard to imagine that after a short period of soul searching every one of us would come to the same conclusion; censor America. Censor them so that they no longer exist. If you have to censor Canada in the process, then that’s hard luck for Canada. Just get it done.
Shortly afterwards, a Twitter campaign would no doubt result in the censoring of Germany, for no other reason than ‘Guys, it would be well lol.’ Bloody kids. More and more countries would disappear from the globe for increasingly trivial reasons.
Eventually, all that remains in existence would be the BBFC headquarters. Slowly, they’d start banning rooms from the building. Obviously, the first to go would be the disgusting and offensive toilets. The loss of the toilets would have an unpleasant effect around the building, until eventually they would have to censor even themselves.
