   Recent experience here suggests that censors are capable of  completely   
   screwing  up the other way here, For the preview clip at sessions of Horton   
   Hears a Hoo  a  major movie chain here chose a completely uncensored Hip-Hop   
   song, a song for which  even in my rather liberal. view of  the world, even   
   with my propensity to drop the f word like im afraid it may go out of   
   fashion, even I would think a XXX rating (the highest rating a video can   
   get, usually reserved for extremely graphic violence and extremely perverted   
   pornography, and still be legally obtainable in Australia) would be a   
   significant understatement, and this is for a movie aimed at an audience   
   with an average age of about 10- 12.   
      
      
   Actually, screw the potential legal consequences, this is a deserves to be   
   named and shamed situation, the company was Hoyts Cinemas and its actions   
   were grossly irresponsible and unproffessional to the point of revulsion.
