Totally agree with you there D.It is odd that only film suffers this way,though I do remember a few years ago the fourth issue of "Answer Me!,the Journal of Hate" was seized when imported into the UK, it was a satirical look at violence towards women.That said the main writer in the journal ended up doing time for assulting his wife,so perhaps not the best example to give!Interestingly when he published a book defending his actions it was not seized/banned in the UK.
