So, I really want to see the new film, Brüno, which comes out tomorrow. However, one problem. The BBFC have rated it as 18, so, strictly speaking, I can’t see it legally until I’m 18, which is next month (August). I’m gonna try to go and see it anyway though. Hopefully I can get in without them noticing me too much. If not, sorry BBFC, but you’re making me do this…I’ll just have to pirate it.
Even worse is that in Australia, Canada, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and the United States, I would be able to see it, because it’s rated between 11+ and 17+ in those countries. So, I wonder why the BBFC have gone and stuck an 18 on it? You can see it in Sweden at 11, so…wtf? Why do 11 year old Swedish kids get to see it? If an 11 year old can see it, surely it can’t be that bad?
Moral of the story: ratings encourage piracy.
