Spam Thread Mk. III

Urgh Migraine not cool. >_<

So tired.

 

Among other things, Canada's notoriously strict child pornography law makes it illegal to even look at a representation of a teenager having sex or in an explicitly sexual situation (except when the works in question have "artistic merit").

I wonder how do they define "artistic merit"

 

my Brain!
aaaahhhh..
*pant* *pant*

 

Artistic merit as in HQ hentai?

 

.............................I am bored

 

name is already 4 =p

 

Malaysia

* Most Christian movies featuring prophets in it, being a mainly Muslim country. However, the ban was lifted with the release of The Passion Of The Christ, though these movies are limited to non-Muslims only.
o Note that Jesus is considered a prophet in islam, and the precursor to Mohammed. Not every christian country likes movies with their prophets either...
* Jerry Springer is yanked off the air after only one episode.
* Zoolander, due to the fact that one of the main plot points is the assassination of the country's fictional prime minister (which is what ultimately they were trying to prevent). Also banned in Singapore, but was lifted 5 years later.
* Concerts from Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne nearly got banned due to, ahem, SKIMPY OUTFITS and BAD INFLUENCE TO THE YOUTH respectively. C'mon, do these Muslim youth organisations even know these artists? Thankfully, the concerts went on without a hitch.
* Linkin Park was not allowed to wear short pants, spit, curse, throw things into the crowd, jump around, or "scream excessively" during their concert. Their live routine typically involves all of the above, except the shorts.
* Madonna, due to her really risque resume, was banned from performing in the country, period.
* In his autobiography, Meat Loaf lamented how hard it was to perform his "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" number in Muslim countries, since he was not allowed to touch any of his female back up singers on stage. Also, the female back up singers had to cover their shoulders and midriffs. (I'm sure Meat loved telling his daughter that.)
* Steven Spielberg infamously refused to let Malaysia screen the edited version of his movie Schindlers List, since its Zionist theme is the main plot point. The movie was only released on DVD recently. Munich also suffered the same fate.
* Borat, Brokeback Mountain and the last three (and counting?) Saw movies never saw the light of day in the country.
* Bruce Almighty was nearly banned due to the movie's plot about a guy who becomes God for a day. While most Muslim sectors considered this movie offensive, non-Muslims stated that the movie is not offensive to any religion whatsoever. Thank god the movie was finally screened, unedited. Ironic, considering how popular the movie is with Muslim Americans. In fact, Muslim Americans make up its single largest demographic.
o Evan Almighty, the spin-off about Steve Carrell making Noah's Ark, also suffered the same problem.
* Two of LOCAL filmmaker Amir Muhammad's documentaries never saw the light of day in the country.
* Why the hell Pussycat Dolls managed to be allowed to perform in the country is beyond our imaginations. The organisers paid the fine and the Cats wore less skimpier outfits when they returned to the country for the 2008 MTV Asia Awards.
* On the topic of skimpy outfits, Beyonce switched her concert venue from KL to Jakarta due to this rule, despite the fact that Indonesia has more Muslims than Malaysia. Then again, Indonesians ARE kinda open...
* South Park never made it to Malaysian television, but was released on home video. Hmmmm....
* None of Quentin Tarantino's movies ever made it to the country, with the exceptions of Jackie Brown and Kill Bill Vol 2 (the latter causing continuity problems).
* Sin City.
* Daredevil was banned for trivial reasons, but was released on home video recently.
* The second Austin Powers movie.
* The American Pie trilogy.
* The 40-Year Old Virgin.
* Recently, the government is trying to cut out drag queens and illegal racing in local movies. Two of the country's biggest selling assets in their movies. *whack* *whack*
o Just so you know, Remp-It and Impak Maksima (The Fast And The Furious, IN MALAYSIA!') are one of the country's top high grossers in the box office, and now they are trying to ban illegal racing in movies so that the public will not be influenced. Then again, what's the point of using PG-13 and 18+ ratings in the first place!?
* In 2009, the Malaysian government declared that Muslim citizens would be prohibited from attending the Black Eyed Peas' concert there on the grounds that it was being sponsored by Guinness, a beer company. The government later rescinded the ban and allowed Muslims to buy tickets.
