Yeah what Dem said, up yours Mary you uptight old twat.
I bet she's spinning in her grave.
I'm not totally opposed to all censorship, but when dealing with adult films made for adult audiences, everyone should respect the rights to express artistic freedom.
As long as a filmmaker is not violating the rights of people/animals who are not giving their consent to being exploited, they should be only answerable to classification.
Looking at the current poll results people still don't seem to want to accept responsibility for their film collections.
If a film is classified as an adult film, kids shouldn't be able to buy this or view it until they are old enough, thats the whole point of classification.
If adults show a kid an adult film it is up to them to take responsibility and assess wether the minor is equipped with the intellectual abilities to cope with the film.
Then there is the argument of the internet making stuff available, a kid can only have access through whatever device an adult gives them, again it's up to a responsible adult to oversee what is being made available.
