Violence Never Solved Anything!
May 16th, 2005




Buried in this story about the Under-12 ban on Dr. Who in Britain is this nugget:

The BBFC said 2004 movie Spider-Man 2 was similarly issued with a 12 certificate, rather than the less restrictive PG rating.

“It received a 12 because of its scenes of urban violence and the fact that role model Spider-Man used violence as a way of dealing with his problems.”

If only Spidey had tried dialoguing with Dr. Octopus. Or had sought a U.N. resolution.

P.S.: The new Dr. Who is pretty good, actually, even if it does lack Jelly Babies.
