BBFC cuts to the 1977 Richard Attenborough film 'A Bridge Too Far'

Cuts to blood and strong language were required to get an 'A' certificate.

These edits have since been waived, and the film is now available as an uncut '15' in the UK

BBFC language cuts made to 'Romy And Michelle's High School Reunion', lowering the certificate from a '15' to a '12'

These cuts have now been waived, and an uncut '15' is available

ASDA have banned the sale of Pool Party Massacre because some people were offended by the DVD cover

Here’s the offending cover:

We’ve Warned You About This Man” – Jess Franco And The BBFC | Reprobate Magazine

"These are two quotes from the BBFC to my [Nigel Wingrove] solicitors which show just how close to having criminal proceedings issued against Redemption we were for trying to champion Jess Franco:

SADOMANIA: … “it is grossly unsuitable for viewing in the home. Few, if any, of the sex scenes are consenting,… women that persistently refuse to succumb to the sadistic prison regime are systematically tortured, humiliated or degraded, often for the purpose of arousing the impotent male governor and through him the male viewer of the video work. … There is no doubt in our minds that the erotic presentation of such scenes would be found depraving and corrupting by a British jury”.

sadomania

DEMONIAC: … “The Board has never granted a BBFC certificate to any film or video which seeks to encourage sexual sadism, and this film is clearly sadistic in that it seems ‘to have no purpose or justification other than to reinforce or sell the idea that it can be highly pleasurable to inflict injury, pain or humiliation (often in a sexual context) on others’ (Home Office Report on Obscenity and Film Censorship, Williams, HMSO, 1979)….|

…The work of this particular film maker has often fallen well outside the parameters of BBFC standards because of the manner in which it presents scenes of vicious sexual violence or of violence to women in a sexually arousing context, offering little pleasure to the viewer other than a conscious vicarious gratification of misogyny. Where such emotions focus on the harming of others, the Board must always consider drawing a line, as we have in refusing a video certificate to DEMONIAC”."

"It's a Christmas classic probably being played in shops and radio stations all over the world.

But a radio station in Cleveland, Ohio has decided to remove ;Baby It's Cold Outside' from its playlist following complaints from listeners.

Local media report that listeners said the song was inappropriate and at odds with the #MeToo movement."

Just in case you don't know the song, prepare to be offended

Amen brother!

Looking at the lyrics, some of them are bit creepy and dated, with the woman saying "say, what's in this drink?", and the male using a variety of approaches to convince her to stay in this house.
