List of dvd's banned in singapore

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 refused by the media development authority of singapore.

Trackback from You Got Me Blogging:

I am not a person who is very much bothered by the whole censorship hoo-haa in Singapore ...But that doesn't stop me from being deeply intrigued by this website - a listing of all returned Amazon products from Singapore....

Trackback from offpoint:

.... and found it very amusing, especially the most recently rejected titles.

Someone is obviously trying to learn about SEX! haha.
