Ofcom writes in a press release: Ofcom has opened new investigations into the providers of pimpbunny.com and kemono.cr. Our investigations will examine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that the providers
have failed, or are failing, to comply with these duties under the Online Safety Act. We have prioritised action against these providers based on the risk of harm posed by the services they operate. We have taken particular
account of their user numbers, including where we have seen significant increases in their user traffic since age-check laws came into force last summer. Separately, we have published our provisional decision into fapello.com,
setting out that we have reasonable grounds to believe the provider of the service is in breach of their duties under the Online Safety Act. Fapello now has the opportunity to make representations to Ofcom, which will be carefully considered before we
reach a final decision. And finally, we are announcing an expansion to our ongoing investigation into the provider of xgroovy to determine whether they have also failed to adequately respond to Ofcom's formal requests for
information.
Kemono.cr seems more of an archive of adult graphic art than porn but it does carry porn advertising. pimpbunny.com is a not particularly expensive tube site but maybe it has particularly wound up the censors as it
includes a nudify service |

SS Experiment Love Camp is a 1976 Italy war horror thriller by Sergio Garrone Starring Mircha Carven, Paola Corazzi and Giorgio Cerioni
Banned as a video nasty in 1983. Released uncut on 18 rated 2006 DVD. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Thanks to Mike. The film made the news in 2021 when it was part of a shopping list of material found in the possession of a man in court
on far right terrorist charges. See article from bbc.co.uk The second UK release by 'Blackhorse Entertainment' is completely uncut. A second release was required as due to a production mistake, the film 'Love Camp' starring Laura Gemser was on the DVD
instead. This first version can be identified by the stills of Laura Gemser on the back cover. Summary Notes Near the end of WW2, prisoners of war are used in experiments to
perfect the "Aryan" race. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material Possibly the most infamous entry into the Nazisploitation genre, Sergio Garrone's SS Experiment Camp is a harrowing and deliberately triggering experience which, even by today's
standards is as powerful as it was when originally released in 1976. From its provocative, tabloid baiting original poster of a naked woman dangling crucified and naked, the movie pushed the boundaries as far as it could. Set during the tail-end of World
War II we follow the deranged experiments performed on innocent prisoners of war by the utterly sadistic and evil Colonel von Kleiben in his attempt to create the perfect Aryan race. Shocking, notorious and endlessly exploitative, the movie continues to
disgust audiences all over the globe nearly 50 years after its initial release. Bonus Materials

The Strange Affair is a 1968 UK crime drama by David Greene Starring Michael York, Jeremy Kemp and George A. Cooper
 Cut by the BBFC for X rated cinema release in 1968.
Summary Notes When rookie P.C. Strange falls for an under aged girl, he is unknowingly compromised by a pair of pornographers. Meanwhile, seasoned Det. Pierce is out to catch mob boss Quince and
soon both plots intertwine. US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:
- 2025 Vinegar Syndrome Labs (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on 28th October 2025
Promotional Material *This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful
restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. "There's nothing more despicable than a bent policeman." In a less-than-swinging area of London, the grizzled Detective Sgt. Pierce is obsessed
with taking down a local kingpin, Quince, who is an expert at evading arrest, as he was once a policeman himself. Meanwhile, PC Strange is a new beat cop, fresh and idealistic about serving the public good, who meets a hippie girl named Frederika while
quieting a street scuffle. Frederika takes an interest in Strange, who is quickly learning the harder realities of police life. When Strange gets trapped in a budding scandal, it's Pierce who convinces Strange he can save him, but only if Strange helps
bend the law to entrap Quince. An early feature from prolific telefilm director David Greene (I Start Counting; Rich Man, Poor Man), THE STRANGE AFFAIR combines the grit of US police drama with English working-class culture, delivering a strong
update to the form with its multiple storylines and cynical eye on both pop culture and bureaucracy. Featuring powerful performances from Michael York (Austin Powers, Murder on the Orient Express), Susan George (Straw Dogs, Tintorera), and Jeremy Kemp
(Top Secret!, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors), it also boasts a stunning soundtrack by experimental composer Basil Kirchin (The Abominable Dr. Phibes) and photography from Alex Thomson (The Keep). Vinegar Syndrome Labs is proud to offer the disc debut of
this police thriller, newly restored in 4K from its original Techniscope negative. Bonus Features: 1. Region A Blu-ray 2. Newly scanned and restored in 4K from its 35mm original negative 3. Commentary
track with filmmaker, film writer, and producer Kat Ellinger 4. Swinging to London (5 min) - a featurette with words by actor Michael York 5. Greene Recruits (35 min) - a making-of documentary featuring interviews with the cast and crew 6. In
Like Quince (18 min) - an interview with actor David Glaisyer 7. Reversible sleeve artwork 8. English SDH subtitles

| Thanks to Tim |
The increasingly secretive censors at the BBFC have recently removed a facility to let interested users monitor recent decisions. The only database search facility remaining is to search for sepecific titles. The BBFC responded to a query asking about
this vanished recent decisions page and the BBFC responded: With regard to the website, you are correct that the primary purpose of the site is to assist viewers, and parents in particular, in deciding whether content
will be suitable. This is why the functionality has changed. You can of course still search for classification information via the main search.
