I found this quote on a DVD review site:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The MTV spoof will not, however, appear on the set issued by EiV in the United Kingdom. This is because the spoof would have casued the disc to have a rating which is higher than the 'PG' given to the film and all the other elements on the DVDs. Since all DVDs are classified by the British Board of Film Classification overall with regard to the 'highest categorised element', EiV were not willing to put this on the disc, risk a higher classification and prejudice sales. This will not be the case with LOTR:FOTR R2 discs issued elsewhere in the region. <BR>Since LOTR: The Two Towers has been given a 12A film classification, perhaps they might include it on a future issue of that disc. Then again..... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><p>[ August 28, 2003: Message edited by: Elanor ]
