I could see them going straight for the top level of ACMA intervention - requiring an apology notice in a newspaper.

Watched The Simpsons episode at 9pm tonight on Eleven.
It was âSky Policeâ from Season 26 a couple of years ago.
Ten classified it as âMâ with âSome Violence & Drug Referencesâ.
But no idea why tbh 
All I noticed was at the start, a very brief scene where two jail birds have a case full of cocaine packets and are slicing one, when Chief Wiggum flies overhead it goes everywhere.
And a scene near the end where Homer has his head squished by a vice (reminiscent of the film âCasinoâ).
But is that really âmature audienceâ (i.e.) not really suitable for children worthy?
Reckon I found it.

Sony Picturesâ Home Entertainment is releasing modified âcleanâ broadcast television and airline versions of movies for home use alongside the original rated versions. The aim is to allow families to watch movies together they might otherwise wouldnât, eg the extremely violent Captain Phillips.

Seth Rogen who has made some films for Sony is not a fan.

Some of his films are terrible because of all the drug jokes. I would love to see a movie he does nowadays without the
huehuehuehuehuehuehue letâs get high man this is good stuff we need more weed. Fuck man we should do cocaine huehuehuehue
Iâd hate this cleansing to happen to any other movie (one that does not star Rogan).
Pineapple Express is a masterpiece, I donât care what anyone says.
You must be on drugs. 
Itâs such a mess.
We really need a united classification agency for all cinema and television.
Sometimes networks air edited versions of films, when they donât need to (e.g.) after 9pm
Sorry to go back to the past (but you can do that kind of thing when you are in charge)
Doesnât Foxtel blanket classify some of their channels regardless of content?

Yup - mostly music channels. (which get a blanket MA classification)

Like Rage on the ABC?
I thought comedy was the same, but I might be confusing the classification with the warning about parental lockout

All markets except QLD & WA have Queens Birthday today.
As itâs a public holiday, programming differences (due to the Code).
All markets except QLD & WA are currently receiving a âPGâ midday movie (âBaby Brokersâ from 1994)⌠Sevenâs NBC made-for-TV movies are riveting viewing 
QLD is reveiving a normal âMâ midday movie (âThe Good Mistressâ).
WA (after time delayed Morning News) will go straight to the AFL at midday.
Oddly, SA has Queens Birthday public holiday too, but are instead receiving an encore of House Rules (possibly something to do with time zone too)?
Odd to see Sevenâs new gaming platform program âscreenPLAYâ classified MA15+ with adult themes and violence.
7mate, 10pm, this Thursday.
Perhaps theyâll be showing video games with graphic (animated - so stylised) violence & discussing matters that should be dealt by a very mature/adult perspective?
Or maybe theyâll just be showing gameplay footage of games that are rated MA15+âŚ

Interesting to see Seven air âBrunoâ (2009).
A satirical comedy-drama, even more graphic than âBoratâ (2006).
Bruno (in its uncut version) got an R18+ in Australia, for sexual activity. Although there was an edited MA15+ version released theatrically.
Wonder if Seven used that or made cuts themselves?
Like I said, very surprised to see it airing at all, looks like itâs aired before (i.e.) âRptâ.
Tonight on 7mate in Perth, other markets next Friday late on 7mate.

Yeah, Iâm sure this has been discussed before? I remember someone being surprised the scene at the swingers party where Bruno gets violently whipped by the girl in leather was left intact.

Itâs my understanding, that Seven made no edits?
They instead aired the cut MA15+ version (theatrical shown in cinemas), prepared by Universal?
The major difference was the exaggerated sex scene at the start (with Brunoâs boyfriend) was completely removed, only the champaigne shot waa seen.
