40 VCDs banned

The Culture Ministry has banned 40 VCDs it considers too violent or sexually explicit since it became the country's video watchdog.

"The ban is necessary as more than 80 per cent of their content features violence or sex," Ladda Tangsupachai, director of the Culture Watch Centre, said yesterday. The job of checking videos, computer games and online games was transferred from police to the ministry in Sept.

More than 2,000 games and films have been submitted for review. "We have also censored parts of these games and films," Ladda said.
