I asked this a while ago...and somebody said it was because they thought it would encourage people to eat worms. But they ban everything over there.

reply

Um, because everything is banned in Malaysia.

...By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

reply

Because worm is a holy animal there. Just like cow to the indian. Worms can crawl freely on the road without being flatten by people. ANyone killed a worm, even not on purpose, will be hang and their body becomes worm food

reply

Puhleez, it's not that worms are sacred or anything like that. You have to live
here to understand how our censorship board works. I believe the film was banned
because of the bullying element. We have a serious (and I mean real serious) problem of bullying in the schools.
Better not give the bullies any ideas, right?
Not that I agree with the censors, I think they're stupid.

reply

I suppose that's the most likely reason.

Though in the end he sticks up to the bullies and it all works out (well I think so, I haven't seen the film for 5 years).

LOL are you putting us on? That guy from Malaysia said worms aren't holy.

reply

Worms are holy in Malaysia.
I am a priest of the state religion "Babafufruism"
It is believed that the worms have a divine birthright, and one day a divine worm will WHIP the intestine of MOTHER EARTH. This will cause various parts of her GAPING and VACUOUS body CAVITIES to dislodge. Among them the PLACENTA OF ETERNAL PAIN, and THE GALLSTONE OF MISERY. These forces of destruction will be fought by THE GREAT WORM OF PAN SEARED DOLPHIN. The Earth consumed by the struggling INTERNAL GALACTIC FORCES, will spray the surface of the moon with the viscous brown sludge of PREHISTORIC DIGESTION. IF the GREAT WORM were to fail all life on Earth would be miserable, living among the rotting waste of digested history's decomposition.
CAN YOU BREATH METHANE? NO?
Then NEVER harm a WORM!
