Censorship is a pain in the (Gl)ass

Back in the day it was common practice to take someone’s temperature by sticking a thermometer where the sun didn’t shine, that is unless you were a porn star and the sun would and did shine all over the place. But as in all things technology marches on and things have gone digital.
Kinky Angels found out recently that sticking a good old fashioned glass thermometer up your bung hole is not only quaint, it’s actually an offense that can get you censored:

PRAGUE- BelAmi announces today they are pulling their latest release “REBELS” from the UK due to mandatory cuts the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) demanded in order to give the film the R18 classification needed to be released in the United Kingdom. “REBELS” is from BelAmi’s successful twink line, KINKY ANGELS that features BelAmi’s youngest generation of superstar models.
The source of contention revolves around a scene 45 mins into the movie where Jack Harrer is sick and the other ‘Kinky Angels’ come over to help him get well. First things first so they decide to take Jack’s temperature the old fashioned way by sticking a thermometer where the sun doesn’t shine. Apparently this type of medical attention is not deemed viewable in the UK.
After the BBFC informed BelAmi of the mandatory changes the studio quickly rejected them. Luca Norcen, Head ofBelAmi’s global DVD operations says of the BBFC ruling “This whole affair is so utterly ridiculous it borders on the absurd. The BBFC should begin treating UK viewers as responsible adults rather than children”. He goes on to say, “Upon careful evaluation, we feel we cannot go ahead with the proposed cut. It will compromise the integrity of the scene, its unique flavor and its natural buildup. As far as a thermometer constituting penetration with an object which may cause harm I find that hard to believe given every mom in the world of a certain age has done it a zillion times with her kids!”
A senior adviser at the BBFC explained that there is potential for harm if someone were to copy the scene using the thermometer due to the fact that glass thermometers are apparently to be avoided as they could break!
Censorship has long been a problem in the UK and this latest example might have some saying that the BBFC are going overboard when trying to keep grown adults from harming themselves.
“REBELS” complete with thermometer and all will be released on April 1st in the US via PULSE and at the end of the month in the EU via Millivres Prowler Group.

So unless you want to have your ass censored go digital guys when taking your temp! Stay tuned for the images from this set this upcoming weekend or if you want to check it out now visit Kinky Angels.
