Just because Grotesque was banned in the UK, doesn't mean it should be banned in the USA all I got to say this is actually an unacceptable act of censorship/banning it wasn't as if we are watching porn or whatever.
Just because a movie is gruesome doesn't mean you have to react that way by banning it. if so then WWE, Real Life, News (yes like CNN, FOX, books ETC..) Should be banned as well since I got a problem with education/entertainment.

That Ghostbusters story is very intriguing. I can't believe they would cut all that out because it was "unacceptable" by that country.
