Human Centipede 2 - Interview with Family Voice

This interview, initiated by Rett Bartlett (Dial M for Movies Twitter: @dialmformovies Melbourne Australia) was conducted early December 2011 with FamilyVoice representative Mrs. Roslyn Phillips - Research Officer with FamilyVoice Australia (formerly Festival of Light Australia) regarding the decsion by the Classification Review Board to reclassify the R18+ film "Human Centipede 2" Refused Classification, thus making it illegal to possess in some states of Australia and effectively banning it's sale or exhibition in those States of Australia where it is illegal to sell or exhibit films classified "Refused Classification".

What a stupid ignorant bitch. Mind your own business you overstuffed cunt!

If she thinks that fans of the movie are masturbating to it like Martin does to the first film, perhaps that says something about her sick imagination. I don't know anyone in FamilyVoice, but I saw the movie in the cinema with a crowd and felt that we were a very healthy bunch of people, which is more than can be said for many of the religious people I know. And one of my female friends said she loved the film for how funny it was but can't stand movies like "Hostel".

@AquaRing yeah a bit but less then it would have been 20 years ago though i realy dont like how the government bans things they dont understand and fear and the same kind of thinking brought us into the dark ages >.>

[AquaRing]

@Malkaking I know it's not banned from importing, but the fact that "refused classification" even exists is a major problem.

[Malkaking]

@AquaRing yep well polititions backflip and over turn anything they think will benifit their carrrer and as adults we should watch anything we want "within human decency" not morality, morals are somthing to keep with fairy tales and not to bring into life issues

also its not on the banned from import list nore is illegal to import or buy off the net if you wish to do so there is no risk im just rambling here its just shameful they can still say what we can and cant watch

[Malkaking]

@AquaRing yes i agree xD also if a parent decides to buy them adult meterial its up to them aslong as they have taught the child the difference between fantasy and reality i remember being alowed to watch the freddy series from the age of 2 xD didnt screw me up in not a criminal like they say we are

[AquaRing]

@Malkaking I'm sick of the bullshit "think of the children!" rhetoric idiot politicians and their cronies (or should I say puppetmasters?) use to justify censorship. What about adults? Why should WE be prevented from accessing something legal when the consumers are perfectly aware of what it entails? If a parent buys something for a young kid that is CLEARLY marked as "adult only" or such, then they're doing a REALLY bad job at raising them, and it's no-one else's fault but their own.

[AquaRing]

@Malkaking you're completely missing the point. yes, it contains torture, gore, stuff worthy of ED's "offended" page. BUT it's all FICTIONAL, and all the actors consented to it. It may not entertain you, and it certainly wouldn't entertain me. Fact of the matter though is that it was already rated and ready to be sold to those who WOULD be willing to watch it for whatever reason. (cont.)

[Malkaking]

oh yes lets all masturbate to torture XD

[Malkaking]

standard polititian answers IMHO the movie was terrible acting was shit gore only made it worth watching and about driving on the left side of the road bro you should have said if i do that it will endanger the lives of others and possibly endanger my own XD
