Filmmaker Forces Censors To Watch 10-Hour Movie of Paint Drying (ibtimes.co.uk)

An anonymous reader writes: A British filmmaker has forced the people who decide how to censor films to watch a 10-hour movie of paint drying on a wall following a protest fundraising campaign. Charlie Lyne launched a Kickstarter to help raise the money needed to send his 'documentary' of a single shot of paint drying on a wall for consideration as a protest against the 'stronghold' the organisation has on the British film industry. The BBFC charge an initial fee of $144.88 to view a film and decide what certificate to give it, and then and additional $10.15 for each minute that the film lasts. The idea was the more money Lyne could raise via his fundraiser, the longer his paint-drying film could last. The campaign eventually nearly £8,500, meaning he was able to send in a 607 minute video which the examiners had to watch in its entirety.

Put some "obscene" and "violent" elements throughout the movie but keep it just within the allowed parameters.
For bonus points, put some of them in audio only (a "fuck" every few hours should do), while others are single frame images.

Then either call them out on not doing their work or have them stare at paint drying for 10 hours.
