MPAA gets into censorship

According to Chud.com, the MPAA demanded that an advertisement for a comedy flick called Severance be banned. Apparently the advertisement which shows a comedic image of a neck stump spurting blood was considered too extreme for the Internet

Severance director Christopher Smith said that he has been amazed at the way that different countries have been censoring the film.

In America the film was passed uncut and rated R, but the website was banned. In Malaysia the film is banned but the website's okay. In France the film is rated 12 and the website is considered juvenile.

He said he was confused. More here. µ
