Moviegoer sues censor for cutting steamy pictures


Governmental scissors in Ang Lee's move Lust and Caution, cutting away the more steamy and sexual explicit scenes in the movie, have angered a moviegoer so much he want so sue the censor, writes Reuters.
Suing the government, unthinkable less than five years ago, has become increasingly the tool of choice of citizens who think their interests are being hurted. Seems a rather peaceful way of resolving conflicts.
He could have bought of course a DVD on the street, but that is of course a too pragmatic to avoid censorship.

Update: Global Voices has many more details on this.
