Yeah but, you guys know the people in the video aren't actually step siblings right?

What are they banning, dialogue?

What a strange line in the sand to draw.

I'm not for this ban, but if you were to make a movie of a grown man sleeping with a child, even if that "child" was a grown actress who just looked young, that movie would still be banned.

Ever heard the Police song Don't Stand So Close To Me? That's about the same thing the Nabokov reference is (and mentions it)

Lolits is a pretty well known (and respected) book, as well as two film versions - the earlier one done by Stanley Kubrick and the latter starring Jeremy Irons.

Ooohh yeah, I've heard of it. The story where the guy is attracted to young girls and dates a woman to get to her daughter.
