Casual punters have heard of the notorious cannibal films, I've often been surprised at the amount of people who have asked me if I have them - people I would never have thought would have any interest in films like these. So I reckon lots of people would buy them out of sheer curiosity, even if they are edited versions. I think most of us here know that they'll never pass intact, but I still think they'd be big sellers - obviously not to folk like us, but high street browsers might well pick up copies to satisfy their curiosity. As Shameless have said themselves, New York Ripper did extremely well for them, and that was an edited version.

Of course, if submitted it'll be cut, but possibly less than previously, which could be a major selling point. After all, there's been two releases of ISOYG and a third one coming, so it obviously sells well, even in a truncated form.

It's a different situation to Inferno in that most people believe that a cat eating a mouse does not constitute animal cruelty, whereas the cannibal films heavily feature abuse of animals from humans, which most people agree is wrong. It's a completely different kettle of fish and you can't compare the two.
