“Dr Simmons is Deputy Head of the Film, Television and Media department at the University of Auckland. He is fluent in Italian and is the author of many books, articles and other publications. Dr Simmons was awarded a Senior Fulbright Fellowship in 2002.

Chief Censor’s Office refuses to ban Derty Sesh Video Clip in latest decision

June 21, 2010 by SPCS Leave a Comment

The Derty Desh rap music video “Let Me Introduce Myself/Forever” opens with “graphic violence” involving the depiction of “the frenzied murder and dismemberment of a young woman by the hooded figure of the rapper” (accompanied by the rap track “Let Me Introduce Myself” and “offensive language”). The rap track “Forever” follows, accompanied by “images that show a young woman stalked and the hooded man summarily disposed of. The terrified woman is taken to a shack in the woods and attacked by the same hooded man.” The frenzied sexual violation of the woman is implied in the images and by the music that tends to glamorise the attack. In a classification decision published on 15 June 2010 in the May List of Decisions, the Chief Censor’s Office has classified it R18. [Read more…]

What do these two censors have in common besides massive salaries ? [Read more…]
