Sorry for the eye-bleedingly tiny text, I must have been in a wordy mood when I wrote it. That, and the whole thing seems unnecessarily cryptic, particularly the last panel.
Check out the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards website - apparently movies with violence (or sex, but that's not the issue just now) in them are capable of turning people into psychotic killers and should be banned outright. Recently Mel Gibson made a movie featuring quite a lot of that nasty violence that the SPCS so objects to, and was accordingly rated R16 by the chief censor. This appeared to upset the SPCS crew, as they believed children below the age of 16 should also be allowed to see this movie - after all, the story is from the Bible, so it should be good for the whole family! So, just in time for Easter, the rating was lowered.
Thank you SPCS, for protecting our moral wellbeing, and for teaching us that violence in movies and TV is bad, except when it's good for us.
