Welcome to the Big Leagues

"Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads."
- George Bernard Shaw

Today I got a call from the DVD label that is releasing "I Am A Sex Addict." Apparently, their legal department has insisted that I remove 3 minutes of footage from one of the DVD extras. The scene in question shows the actress snorting coke on the set, and talking about her drug use. It's a hilarious scene, and adds a layer of complexity both to her character and to what transpires in the rest of the film. I was given the choice of either taking out the offending scene, or not having the DVD extra appear on the DVD at all. I chose the former option, but with a heavy heart.

I guess this is the price of success.
