I watched Ai No Corrida the first time it was shown uncut (no pun, you will get that if you saw it) on film four. They made a point of stressing it was a break through in the UK censorship laws.
I am often amused and puzzeled by the silly boundries in this country. It looks very much like a case of laws being slapped down over the years but not really being looked at to see if they make any sense. For example, we subscribed to the Adult Channel for a little bit (it was horrid, we canceled) they weren't able to show a woman giving a blowjob yet they were allowed to show a woman going down on a very realistic dildo. Now, what is the difference, she was holding the dildo in such a way that for a moment it looked like it was attached to a man.
The laws are comming down as soon as a politican gets the guts.
