As you may have noticed, I have worrying level of obsession with classifications. Like, I really have to know why one episode of Peep Show was rated 18 when the others were all 15s, etc. Anyway, I was at a friend's house on Tuesday when the trailer for Jody Hill's Observe and Report, a police comedy, came on the telly. Running underneath it was the bbfc description, which reads -

Now, is it just me, or would this have been enough to render a film an 18 15 years ago? Also, the trailer for the film was stronger than the film itself! Interesting.
As I said, I'm a bit obsessed with film ratings and the bbfc, so I found this interesting. You, however, might just want me to -

Bung.

Nahh i know what you mean, it puzzles me to this day, (and I've said this enough times...) why "The Usual Suspects" was given an 18-certificate, yet "Watership Down" was U-rated??- that shit was mentally scarring!
Alright, no need for sarcasm Anna. :P
