PUBLSHER'S STATEMENT
The Magnificent Seven
In the province of Ontario there are seven people who call themselves the Ontario Censor Board.
They control what we Canadians see in our local movie theaters — and if you think that because you don't live in Ontario you are safe from the dehUmma-porn-star">Umanizing clutches of the Board, you are fooling yourself.
The terrifying part of all this is that in most cases the public isn't even aware when a film has been censored. In fact, the Ontario Censor Board can force film distributors to keep secret not only the nature of the cuts in a film, but that the film has been slashed at all. This is a flagrant insult to our intelligence! Not only do we have no say in what we can see, but we aren't even allowed to know what it is the Censor Board is trying to stop us from seeing!
Since 40 per cent of the Canadian movie audience is in Ontario, film makers often cut their work before bringing it into the country in order to play it safe. The only way we, the people, hear about film censorship is if a director or producer objects to the methods of this obsolete government organization. Perhaps if more film makers would complain instead of worrying about their profit margins, we could rid ourselves of the Magnificent Seven.
Following the statement of Ontario Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister Frank Drea that "the people of Ontario want censorship," these very people are starting to fight back. It's about time! This god-like attitude of Drea's is simply unacceptable. Unsubstantiated and ignorant statements like this cannot and must not be tolerated!
In case you have forgotten, the government is supposed to serve the people. Not the other way around! When seven mere mortals can coerce, cajole and dictate to us what we are allowed to see under the guise of protecting us from "a clear and present danger to society," is this not itself a danger to the morals of the society which they pretend to uphold? Censorship is a creeping threat to
the democratic system that we Canadians are proud to live under.
Sixty-six-year-old George Belcher, vice-president of the Censor Board, admits
"it's often a question of gut reaction." In what way is his digestive
system superior to yours or mine? The Censor Board often refers to public opinion
surveys of censorship, but are always hard-pressed to name the surveys. What surveys.'
Have you ever taken part in a censorship survey?
We at RUSTLER believe that people do have the right not to be offended. You should
be made aware, in a clear and concise manner, of the nature of any film you may
consider attending. If you feel the film may offend your sensibilities, or run
contrary to your moral code, then you should certainly have the right not to be
exposed to it. That's where censorship belongs — in the hands of the private
individual. Censorship is not a dirty word as long as you are the one doing the
censoring on your own behalf, not a group of bureaucrats who are, for all intents
and purposes, out of touch with reality.
