Oi that's my weekend away you are talking about.
A Have-it-Away-day type of thing eh...?
I couldn't possibly comment.... I am sure that JOM will keep one foot on the floor at all times.
Are you playing snooker...?
The Production CodeWhen a series of off-screen scandals inspired an anti-Hollywood backlash in the early 1920s, the major studios joined forces and hired Republican politician Will Hays to head the new Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), an organization formed to restore the industry's reputation by censoring film content and . This alumni of President Harding's scandal-ridden administration surprised everyone by taking his job seriously. Hays forced a number of superficial changes in the film industry, then settled into the background. When the advent of sound film -- and a series of off-screen Hollywood murders and sex-scandals -- brought a new public outcry, Hays instituted the 1930 Production Code.
Along with forbidding nudity and profanity, this code included a long list of rules that now seem laughable. A few examples --
Screen kisses had to be close-mouthed and were limited to six seconds.
Whenever two characters embraced, at least one of them had to keep at least one foot on the floor.No plot would present evil "alluringly."
Even if married, a man and woman could not be shown sharing the same bed.
Seduction could not be the subject of comedy.
No religious minister could be a comic or villainous character.
Such words as "broad," "pregnant," "Lord" and "hold your hat" were prohibited.
In fact, any line, costume, character or situation Hays deemed "unnecessary" could be forbidden.
Apart from playing 'air bongos' have you been out standing on any hot driveways today have your legs melted do we need to call you 'Stumpy'. So many questions.
