about

"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. ~~Not 30 second clips~~ (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.

Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

I always knew the rating system was biased against sex and sexuality, but I had no idea that it was so moralistic. The simple fact that members from any organized religion are involved in any step of the ratings process is absolutely appalling. I seldom look at a film’s rating, but I know from personal experience that a film’s rating can be the deciding factor for many people on whether or not they watch a film.
