von_geisterhandFor a start, there is a surprisingly sensible take on the BBFC's banning of "The human centipede II" from somebody writing for the *gasp* Daily Torygraph.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100091490/i-don%E2%80%99t-want-to-watch-human-centipede-ii-but-i-want-the-right-to-watch-it/
It is in essence what I thought when I heard about what happened to "A serbian movie" in the UK. I think I even blogged about it at the time. What Mr. O'Neill misses out on is the fact that this sort of shit has been going on for quite some time and that censors have in fact gone on record stating that there is in their opinion material that the educated classes can cope with sensibly while the low-intelligence proles surely will be driven to acts of violence and insanity. If you know your history, you will know that a bit further back in time, the same point was made along gender lines.
I would still rather live under the diktat of the BBFC than the one of the FSK/BPjM. Let's not even talk about the MPAA. (Well, from a convenience point of view, at least.)
And yes, I do want to see "The human centipede II" and I do want to see "A serbian movie" uncut.
Musicwise, here is my new favourite net-radio station:

Chockablock with "difficult" stuff. I love it! :-)
There was a third link here somewhere but it seems lost. Ah well....

Have a good weekend, people.

Haus Arafnas "You" war mir zu November-Növelet-ähnlich, deswegen bin ich skeptisch. Haben die Arafnas jetzt die Bands fusioniert?
(Sicher, aber dann denke auch an die Stunden/Tage/schwierigen Situationen, durch die die CDs Dich durchgebracht haben. Man kann immer andere Prioritäten setzen, aber das sind nun mal Deine.)
