Fire everybody at the Film and Publications Board and just adopt international ratings. Viola, money saved and a more efficient system.
That would handle the international content, what about locally produced stuff? Most doesn't go through any international review (so who reviews that) or perhaps you think our locally produced content isn't good enough for your consumption?
I remember the FPB during apartheid and thus I have no time for them and feel they serve no purpose in our society.
As much as I don't miss the old censorship board enforcing their particular brand of religious morals, rating content on the PGVSNLR (whatever the name is) system does help those of us with little kids and not a lot of time to review content ourselves.
As for the article itself, whatever medium was used to conduct the interview doesn't matter. The editor (if there is one) or reporter should have decided not to publish, or to redo the interview after reading the response. Publishing drivel for the sake of publishing when we have such an info glut, is not sensationalism but merely pointless. Journalist? gets a #FAIL.
