We should start a thread to try and work out what the most trivial thing censored in the UK is.  |
A LEGO film called Ninjagu was cut just last year by 12 seconds because a LEGO man hid inside a fridge.
Stormhouse, again just last year, was cut by 1 second because no 15 year old has ever heard the c word that rhymes with runt.
But for me, this is the best one last year. American Horror Story, you know, the TV series? Shown completely uncut on telly but CUT by 5 seconds for dvd release!! Apparently if you see someone in a film hang themselves then you might suddenly realize that, "That's how it's done!" and now be enabled to hang yourself!
You couldn't make this stuff up but whenever censorship is brought up the tide of opinion is that "Things are so much better than they used to be!" which although very true, is far from the veracity of the situation. The Censors (Call them classifiers if you prefer, but that is a miss-nomer, if they cut and ban films then they are not classifying - but censoring.
) still hack and slash their way though many films - around 25 in the last 2 and a half years alone.
Oh, oh, nearly forgot, quick edit; Back in the day when Ferman held sway and almighty power, "Blood on breasts is a trigger for rapists." Quote - unquote from the Man himself, hence many, many cuts.
