From Mayor wants Python film ban ended by Carl Yapp:

She's not the messiah, she's the mayor of Aberystwyth and she has a plan.

Sue Jones-Davies is trying to overturn a near 30-year ban imposed by the town on Monty Python's Life of Brian - the film in which she played a role.

Opponents claimed it made fun of Jesus, but she says it is "amazing" that a town like hers still officially bars a movie now regarded as a comedy classic.

I have a few questions about this ban. If you live in Aberystwyth and download naughty bits of The Life of Brian does Aberystwyth send jack-booted thugs to knock down your door and shoot you?



If you order the DVD of The Life of Brian and live in Aberystwyth will they crucify you?
