You can't earn money with movies that are banned everywhere. its only banned in the UK... if the worldwide sales as a result of the publicity from this ban exceed the likely number of sales from the UK then they will actually gain from this | ||

I don't think they aimed for a ban, though. | ||

all banning it did was give it a load of publicity what's the point in banning it if doing so causes more people to watch it? who would watch it anyway? who cares if someone wants to make a sick film it's up to them? | ||

More serious, I won't watch this but as long as the director can get money to make his film I don't see a reason why he shouldn't make it. | ||

You have the right to attempt to persuade someone that they should not watch the movie, and I urge you to exercise that right in this case, but you do not have the right to physically force them not to watch it and neither does the government. There are people in the world who would like to watch this movie, and the degree of prominance of their ideas in society is a threat to society. There are better ways of dealing with those ideas than giving the government the right to tell people how to entertain themselves. Until someone actually commits the acts depicted in the film, they have not violated anyone else's rights, and they have therefore not committed a crime. The same goes for the film makers. And by the time that someone commits a crime based on the film, it's too late. | ||

For the sake of everyone here's credibility, let us not start an argument based on the negative side effects of violent video games on a video game-based website. It's like starting a religious debate on a christian community site... | ||

Although I've never seen these movies it seems ridiculous to ban them doesn't it? I mean a preemptive ban on something is a bit silly but I guess it honestly doesn't matter, pirating things is not very hard. But since it's that serious to ban, it has me curious now... lol Oh and if no one's seen this http://tosh.comedycentral.com/video-clips/spoiler-alert---human-centipede---uncut it's pretty funny, I've never seen the movie but that made me laugh | ||

Is anyone forced to screen or view this movie? Censorship shouldn't be this heavy handed. Simply limiting the amount of the movie that can be shown in advertising and forcing the movie to have the harshest possible rating is enough. Banning it because it is obscene or stupid? Why the hell is scat porn legal? Why is a gore flick of a sexual nature treated differently than a gore flick? If you don't like something and you ignore it you've made your choice. If you don't like something and you go out of your way to give it attention then extol your opinion so heavily that you use the legal system; what exactly are you trying to achieve aside from force feeding your shit on other people? | ||
