Toronto gay filmmaker Bruce LaBruce has had his latest film yanked from an Australian film festival, after the country's classification board censored it.

The low-budget feature, L,A. Zombie, tells the story of an alien zombie with a massive penis who has sex with the dead. Though LaBruce says he's surprised by the decision, he's also thrilled at all of the additional publicity the move brings his latest project.

"Eureka! They have unconsciously handed the film loads of publicity," LaBruce says. "Once you do this, you've guaranteed that people will want to see it. I suspect I'll get invited to a dozen more film festivals because of this, and thousands more people will see it. My Facebook page has loads of messages on it about the ban."

The move was announced yesterday, when Richard Moore, director of the Melbourne International Film Festival, announced that he had received a letter from the Australian Film Classification Board detailing their decision to ban the film, which they called "gay zombie porn." It is the first time the festival has had a film banned in seven years, the last one being Larry Clark's highly controversial Ken Park, which depicted children having sex with adults and plenty of violence.

LaBruce says he doesn't feel the move was rooted in homophobia, but rather was probably a reaction to the necrophilia in the film. "There is penetration of wounds," he acknowledges, "and an alien with a huge zombie cock who fucks dead people."

I agree that necrophilia is wrong.
There are movies with death and blood, but I believe the deaths are fake.
I don't believe Karen O was sliced into three pieces in her music video.

Zombie movies are bad enough already. If you make a gay zombie film, you're just asking for trouble. Good move from Australia, ban those godamn faggots.

A person could hunt a kangaroo rather than a human being, unless they are endangered animals.
