Attack of the Clones Cut in UK

MartyJG writes "The British Board of Film Classification has demanded a cut in Ep2 AOTC for a head-butt. I don't know which is more extreme: UK viewers insisting on viewing the US version for 1 second of extra film, or that a 1 second cut means the difference between a '12' (~PG-13) and a 'PG' certificate. For some reason the distributors must think fewer people would see the film if it was a '12'. The film report is on the BBFC website."

    How to get a first post:

    1. Fast connection and patience: If you are at work and have a shit job like me,
    you most likely have plenty of time on your hands and have a T1 (or faster) connection.

    2. Refreshing the page: Also very important. To refresh with IE and Opera use F5, for
    Netscape, Mozilla, Lynx and Links use Ctrl+r."

    3. Knowing when something will be posted: I have noticed topics are usually posted every
    45-60 minutes, so you should be refreshing every few seconds around these times.

    4. You must wait 20 seconds after hitting 'reply': Use this time wisely, tell yourself
    "This will be a first post" or "This will be the first post of all posts" and don't forget
    to type something witty and funny. "Fp" or "frost pist" is also always welcome.

    **number 5 and 6 Suggestions from negativekarmanow tm**

    5. changing your preferences to show the "light" version, no slashboxes, only show 1 comment, etc. will dramatically lower your refresh time, so you can refresh every second or so.

    6. Don't use a script to reload. It's lame, and doesn't quite give the same rush a "real" first post gives.

    Follow the above steps and I guarantee you too will get a fp!

  4. CmdrTaco - US Flag Desecrator & Anti-Deleware! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As noted on the Smithsonian Institution's site, the first official American flag had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes, each representing one of the thirteen original states.

    The flag icon for Slashdot's 'United States' section is missing its first stripe - the stripe that represents Delaware, the first state admitted to the Union. While a simple oversight could be forgiven, it should be known from here on out that Slashdot is in fact aware of the missing stripe, and even worse, refuses to do anything about it!

    This vulgar flag desecration and rabid anti-Delawarism must be put to a stop. Let the Slashdot crew know that we will not accept a knowingly mutilated flag or the insinuation that Delawarians deserve to be cut out of the union. I ask you, what has Delaware done to deserve this insolence, this wanton disregard, this bigotry?
