Like everything these days they are probably reacting to some kind of pressure group, like the DM or something ?

I think it's fairly clear to anyone, and made explicit by Chris and Simon Donald, that the Fat Slags are very much a product of the Toon's Bigg Market.

No doubt that's where the inspiration came from, though as I say, the strip appears to be set in a fictional Manchester area, the script is Mancunian as were the voices on the TV show. Compare and contrast with the obviously Geordie Biffa Bacon or STS script.

"Whilst most Viz characters are recognisably from North East England, with the comic largely written in Geordie dialect, the Fat Slags and their friends converse with a Nottingham accent. This originates with the characters' creator Graham Dury who, unlike the Geordie founder of Viz, is originally from that area"

Fair enough - we both picked the wrong sthole. Nottingham it is. The pr0n I saw was definitively some butt ugly Geordies shagging in a cold wet field though

they are aimed at bringing VOD in line with DVD

Regardless of whether you agree with the ban or not (personally I don't) how can the BBFC reconcile this stance with the fact that they have given approval for films such as "A Serbian Film" to be distributed?

The British Board of Film Classification (formerly BB of F Censorship) has amended the 2003 Communications Act with an oddly arbitrary list of activities which can no longer be depicted in British-made grumble vids. Henceforth banned are -

Spanking

Caning

Aggressive whipping

Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)

Urolagnia (known as "water sports")

Female ejaculation

Strangulation

Facesitting

Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering"

So is this eminent good sense on behalf of the BBFC to protect the UK's pr0n actors and viewers or is it the fascist thought-police in action?

Can these new non-permitted acts be shown in non-bongo/grumble flicks?

I mean what makes a move a pr0n movie? Some of these acts (e.g. Spanking, Caning, Physical or verbal abuse) are often seen in "mainstream" movies too.

50 Shades of Grey for example...

They'll have to ban "Secretary" as well. Which would be an outrage.

You're even allowed to do the strangulation one as a police man in NY, end up killing someone, and have it videoed and spread around the web, and then get away with it!


If these rules applied to ALL films, then Demolition Man might end up being a very different film

Ha! An excellent point. As someone on twitter said - If a video of a man being choked to death isn't enough to get a trial for someone choking someone to death - then what is?

I just looked that film up on IMDb to see what it was about. On the same page they have a "People who liked this film..." link. One of the films listed is called Salo (it's based on the 120 days of Sodom, which I read years ago), am I being too puritanical in thinking the cover picture is completely out of order?

I've watched a Serbian film. It was so trying so hard to be ott it was actually funny. Genuinely laughing at how bad it's badness was.


I suppose they would say a serbian film is fiction and actors are acting. They are not so much in porn films.


There is another film knocking around. A female performance artist who is into sub culture starred in a film un scripted where she was kidnapped by a truck driver.

How do they rate that she does all the st to herself In the name of art most days.

I've just read wiki as well, sounds like a romantic movie suitable to take your new squeeze to see.

I wish I could forge a new career, making the most ridiculously tenuous porn intros ever. Sadly, I think I'd struggle to outdo the industry, given the epicness of those...

there isn't any value in that "masterpiece" nor it was the goal of the author, the only goal was to piss the serbian public so the movie gets popular

Just who the hell gave them the authority to "amend" an act of parliament?
