Nice So that word goes beyond 'very strong' maybe they should say "extremely strong" or "strongest of the strong" . . .

From the Alice Cooper forum: "Alice has stated that 'Mary Ann' [from 'Billion Dollar Babies'] was written about infamous UK moral crusader Mary Whitehouse" "New Musical Express - 2nd June 1973 Abse V. Alice - Hypocrisy? LEO ABSE, the M.P. for Pontypool, is another of those individuals clearly bent on restricting the public's freedom of choice. He announced last week plans to revoke Alice Cooper's entry permit for his forthcoming British tour. Not to be outdone, Mary Whitehouse's National Viewers and Listeners Association eagerly climbed aboard the Abse bandwagon - completely overlooking the fact that Cooper has no plans for a British tour in the immediate future and has not even applied for an entry permit. Seems that Abse objects to Cooper's "commercial exploitation of masochism" - including his bizarre make-up, smashing up of toy babies, mock executions and tangling with a snake. If these are his main worries, maybe he should also try to ban Punch and Judy, whose show has included the same features for decades past. As it happens nothing further had been heard at Press time of Abse's Parliamentary clarion call - presumably because the Commons have been too busy contemplating their own internal sex scandal. Which should be an indication to Abse that, before criticising others, he should see that his own House is in order. " "Alice has been on BBC1's 'top' music show a couple of times. First was performing 'School's Out' in 1972. This performance caused moral watchdog Mary Whitehouse to call for the band to be banned. Apparently she didn't like Alice's sword." Without Ms. Shitehouse kicking up a storm, maybe Alice would never have grown to be as popular as he is!!

Bit of lame ego-boosting here but thought I'd might as well post my views on the BBFC as read out by Mark Kermode on his BBC video blog edit: ah it's at 2:30. you can't link to a mid-point in a video on here apparently. |

He is pretty honest and insightful as far as the BBFC are concerned and often praises them for their honest classification. I do wonder if he, as a huge horror fan himself, agrees with my point?
