Return of the Video Nasty

Looks like the legislation on "video nasties" may or may not be returning.

In this case, with SS Experiment Camp. I haven't seen the film, but I have seen rape-revenge slasher I Spit on Your Grave. The latter stayed in my mind a while and it have got me thinking more about film-making [techniques].

But here's something you never hear (and probably never will):

"BAN THE PASSION!"

Mayeb some Jews said that, thinking The Passion of the Christ was anti-Semitic, but no Christian I've heard seems concerned that this 2-hour bloodbath actually led to at least two elderly people DYING while (or after) watching it!

I'm not interesting in banning The Passion of course but if one should go about banning graphically-violent films, why not include this one?
