Commercials Advice (CAD), the watchdog set up by Free TV Australia to classify and approve television commercials, has banned another pro-euthanasia commercial for promoting suicide.
According to YourLastRight.com, the group behind the ad, CAD banned the spot for failing to comply with regulation 2.17 of the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice. Section 2.17.5 of the code stipulates that realistic depiction of methods of suicide, or promotion or encouragement of suicide is unsuitable for broadcast.
Neil Francis, chairman and CEO of the YourLastRight.com campaign, told Crikey the ad was rejected despite receiving preliminary commercial approval from CAD.
The only thing that they [CAD] advised us of the airing time � that it should not be on during children's programs and of course we would have no interest in airing during those periods, Francis told Crikey.
The 30-second commercial, which was due to air this Sunday on the major commercial networks, has instead been uploaded to YouTube in the hope it goes viral.

We won't force our opinion on anyone but nor do we want to have our rights limited by others' beliefs any longer. For decades most Australians have believed that medically assisted dying should be a fundamental right. Today, 85% of Australians* agree but the timidity of politicians means that legislation still lags behind the will of the people. No longer.

Rintihan kuntilanak perawan (Indonesian Porn Star Sneaks into Muslim Film Backdoor)

Moans of an Extremist...  
Indonesian film makers somehow neglect to tell extremists that a porn star is in townPermalink
Based on article from xbiznewswire.com

The radical Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) is set to protest the upcoming release of an Indonesian horror movie starring adult superstar Tera Patrick.
The movie Rintihan Kuntilanak Perawan  (The Moans of a Virgin Ghost) is scheduled to be released Oct. 14.
Reports said that the hardline group will rally thousands of paramilitary units to protest against the Film Censorship Board and the producers, K2K productions.
Habib Salim Alatas, head of the Jakarta chapter of the FPI, said he was unaware that Patrick was in Indonesia to shoot the movie. He said, The next time a porn film star lands at Soekarno Hatta airport, we will block them. Nobody told us that the actress had already come and shot the movie in Indonesia.
It isn't clear whether Patrick performs hardcore sex in the film, but the film's producer KK Dheraj said the movie had passed all censorship requirements.
To have Tera Patrick in the movie was risky. I did the shooting secretly outside of Jakarta, 10 days before the fasting month started. Twenty bodyguards were deployed to guard her from the airport to the hotel room, Dheraj said, adding that Patrick was no longer in Jakarta.
Alatas and the FPI's message to porn stars is to stay out of Indonesia. We will not stand still, he said.

Terror Eyes: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Director's Follow-up Slasher Flick

1980 US horror by Ken Hughes (Guild). See IMDb
Rachel Ward as psycho killer dressed in full biker leathers and crash helmet. She beheads various women and leaves their heads in a bucket, a ditch, down the toilet and in a saucepan of Irish stew.
Review from US Amazon: Action over Suspense
A slasher flick with more action elements than suspense elements, really, and a definite pull away from horror and toward mystery. This unfortunately makes it less successful than it might have been as either (a horror film or a mystery) and the twist is pretty standard for a horror film (and strains credibility).
But the acting is above par as are the overall production values, and there isn't a lot of padding--there's something of a story with characterization and so on rather than a series of murders held together by nothing.
One could certainly do (much) worse in picking a slasher film from this era.
