]]> Comment on London buses > London Underground by Sarah http://www.sarahdobbs.com/london-buses-london-underground/#comment-12 Sarah Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:58:24 +0000 http://www.sarahdobbs.com/?p=327#comment-12 Yeah, I like those announcements, although it still took me a few days to realise what the stop I wanted to get off was called; I actually used Google Maps on my phone to track the bus journey the first couple of times, so I knew when I was getting close. I have way too much anxiety about these things! Cycling in London seems brilliant in theory and *terrifying* in practice!

Granted, I'm still new to Britain and am still learning about its laws, but so far in researching them, I haven't found a single thing that explains why "Full Sequence" is banned but "A Serbian Film" wasn't... nor was "Antichrist", nor "Martyrs", nor the "August Underground" films. While the reported events of "Full Sequence" are gruesome and disturbing, they're still rather absurd and mostly impossible, whereas the sexually violent acts in these other movies are quite realistic in places. Honestly, I suspect that the reason "Full Sequence" is being banned is because the BBFC are disgusted by its premise, not because of what it actually contains.

On a 2001-era phone, maybe – but iOS is the predominant mobile gaming platform at the moment!
