Okay, I still have nothing but kind words for the Irish Film Classification Office, but I noticed their information piece on District 9 this morning and found it hilarious. Either we’re getting a very different cut than the rest of the world or someone at the office was not really paying attention when they were watching the film:

Spoof sci-fi comedy.
For those who can’t quite make out what it says above, they summarise the film as follows:
Spoof sci-fi comedy. Fantasy weapons violence with oodles of grotesque, gory special effects. Strong language throughout.
I’m more than a little psyched about the “oodles” of special effects, especially since no one has used that word in the better part of a decade.
