    • Video nasty – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
      "Video nasty" was a term coined in the United Kingdom in the 1980s that originally applied to a number of films distributed on video cassette that were criticized for their violent content by various religious organizations, in the press and by commentators such as Mary Whitehouse. While violence in cinema had been subject of censorship for many years, the lack of a regulatory system for video sales combined with the possibility of any film falling into children's hands led to new levels of concern. Many of these "video nasties" were low-budget horror films produced in Italy and the United States. The furore created by the moral crusade against video nasties led to the introduction of the UK's Video Recordings Act 1984 which imposed a stricter code of censorship on videos than was required for cinema release. Several major studio productions ended up being banned on video, falling afoul of legislation that was designed to control the distribution of video nasties.

    New Album Title 

    wickedcool-black-small1Exciting news has escaped from The Contrast’s camp. The new album that the band recorded recently in Leeds under the working title of “Good Luck Charms & Fast Cars” has been given an official title. The design of artwork for the album is underway and preliminary designs are expected next week (unlikely to be seen here for a while unfortunately).

    However, as of this week the recording is officially titled “The God of Malfunction”. This is hardly surprising as that track is one of the stand-out tracks contained on the record. No news yet on when it will be released. I’ll keep you posted.
