happy funtimeing Amal is a movie from Sweden. The CoO is Sweden and Denmark.
Which country is the right one for the CoO? Sweden or none? |

| Posted: | | | | As with many nordic films, it's a co-production, but I would agree Sweden is the most appropriate since that is the language of the movie (if not the title). | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| Posted: | | | | I agree, a word can only be seen as profanity when it's used into a personal message. It's typical political correct to sensor all words even the ones which are used for artistic reasons. The same craziness is to change the title of "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" into "Zack and Miri". | | | Martin Zuidervliet

Indeed! The world really needs to get rid of this rather ashtonishing "politically correctness" ASAP. This is a DVD forum - we really should be able to mention a film's name. |

But seriously: If we can't enter a movies proper name in a forum made specifically for DVD's, I'd say the world is going in the wrong direction... Someone need to take themselves a bit less seriously IMO... | | | Berak

I disagree - the title of the film is what it is - not happy funtimeing... You can disagree all you want, but this isn't your forum. Ken put the profanity filter in for a reason...that reason being this is not an 'adult only' forum. Bypassing that filter is bad netiquette and opens him up to possible trouble. I suppose you can write whatever you want in Norway, and show it to whomever you want, but Ken doesn't live in Norway. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
