Banned in Singapore, is your media library banned?

http://bannedinsingapore.com ~ Is your media library banned?

Hi all,

I work at amazon.com which gets returns for many reasons. One being the Media Development Authority of Singapore has opened the box and found a DVD it doesn't want in the country. Amazon has a list of 150 DVD's known to be returned from conservative countries. Then there is another list of approximately the same size of additional titles known to be refused from Singapore. That list has not been updated in many years. However I have the fun job of processing recent returns that need extra research and a good percentage are from Singapore. Since it is a mild annoyance for me and probably a big annoyance for people in Singapore I’ve constructed a site that will continually grow as new titles are returned.

http://bannedinsingapore.com (currently over 300 titles)

The sites list http://bannedinsingapore.com/list.htm is the culmination of the internal amazon list, the imdb.com database, and the Media Development Authority of Singapore database. The later has at least a thousand banned titles which is making the updating process never ending.

I'm also redesigning the site so it will be a bit easier on the eyes.

Just so you know this is an amazon associates site which means if any of the titles are purchased through my site you will help pay for maintaining this resource.

Have Fun,
Saculus aka Rich Fuester
