Laura Ingalls! You've been a very baaaaad girl!
Here's a news story of government regulations run amok: "Little House on Prairie," adults-only version!
No, don't worry, they haven't done a porn version of Little House on the Prairie.
HELSINKI (Reuters) – Finland has rated the DVD release of the much-loved children's television series "Little House on the Prairie" suitable for adult viewing only.
To save money, Universal Pictures decided not to submit the series to state inspection, the company's Finland marketing manager Meri Suomela told Reuters on Wednesday.
Finnish authorities charge 2 euros ($2.57) per minute for assessing the correct age limit on films and television series. Distributors who forego this can only sell their shows with a sticker saying "Banned for under-18s."
