So if they let through a scene where a bunny is tortured by a ferret, why not cockfight also!?! |
Because the Censors do not have set guidelines or laws (As is quoted by the miss-informed) but a bunch of vague guidelines that can be interpreted differently depending on the examiners own morals and standards. It is a "Classist" system where if a film is arty-farty and has subtitles it will get away with far more than a low budget gore fest. (Unless your arty farty subtitled film is called A Serbian Film....LOL!!)
Seriously, how can you put any faith in an organization that lies in its very title? Classification and censor are opposite ends of the spectrum, to be one, it's impossible to be the other.
