did you look at itunes before you made your decision .. notice the bad photoshop job .. the movie is rated PG not G . iTunes rentals are 2.99 and you can buy it for 9.99
They’re probably Aussie or Kiwi dollars. Not only is our dollar weaker than yours but everything is more expensive over here because our economy is still growing and we have near full employment despite the GFC.
1 AUD = roughly 88 US cents
1 NZD = roughly nothing which is why they invade Australia (if you Americans think Mexicans illegally crossing the border is a problem, try living next door to the Kiwis, some 20% of the NZ population live in Australia)
Why bother swimming all that way when they can just get on a plane and fly over in comparative comfort? No visas required just a passport and noone sends them home again
Nah Kiwis are OK they’re like an annoying little brother always invading your turf and stealing your thunder
I hear they’re basically completely remaking this movie…because, you know, the old one wasn’t any good anyway >_> because 7 awards means nothing these days
1. You misspelled “be” in a post meant to correct someone’s spelling error. I know everyone makes mistakes, but that is the kind of post you proofread.
2. A-S-S-A-S-S-I-N-A-T-E
3. Safety
In some english speaking countries Willy, instead of being a nickname for someone named William, is a slang term for a man’s p*n*s. So Willy, even though it was the whale’s name, was censored.
It’s not so much a censorship fail (though I notice they didn’t censor the title of Free Willy 2) as a slang/name fail. Some things just don’t cross the pond well.
That’s f*** *** ****!
Dont worry, we love you!
Reminds me of when a “Politically Correct” filtern turned “Mexican flavored tortilla chips” into “Hispanic flavored tortilla chips”

It’s out back behind your mother’s house. The single-side with all the rust on the sides and no roof on top.
hmm must be from the British market, though if that’s the case, why are they using the American dollar symbol and not the British pound symbol?
Try Australia.

What country is this image from? $17.99 is way over US or Canadian pricing.
I thought that ‘Free W***y’ for $17.99 was the fail.

Oh, yes, just duck under a rusty fence, and wade through a river merely 1490km wide, and you’re in!

FAKE
“F*** Willi” would be much more fail
I hear they’re basically completely remaking this movie…because, you know, the old one wasn’t any good anyway >_> because 7 awards means nothing these days
Free Willie.
I looked it up on iTunes, this is fake
Not I Tunes, and obviously not an American web site at all.
The Fail is the Translation to Slang, and Then Ignorance and censhorship laws.
Appearntly having an Enigma is Illegal in –KOREA, this is a Korean video sales site:/
Then why is it in American currency?
The U.S. is not the only country that uses dollars, you Americentric *****.
also if it’s Aussie, then their censorship regieme is becoming notoriously harsh, to the point it would be laughable if it wasn’t so dystopian
Yeah, having Santa say “Ha Ha Ha” and stuff. Glad I don’t live there.
Hanc**k.
The **** van **** show.
lost.
No. Moron.
Nope. Moron 2.
FAIL.

.ORG
Nah, this is iTunes alright.
Try searching for “cum sancto spirito” and see what it does.
Do they have anything about W***y Loman?
No, he’s dead.
I think they tried to censor “Free MY willy”, but failed epicly.
Ummm obviously photoshopped.
I agree. Interesting that the “shopper” forgot to “censor” the two occurrances of the whale’s name in the Plot Summary text.
yeah just look down at the other photo
Nope it really does exist. Search for it on the australian iTunes store.
no way im so doing that
wait thers an austrailian itues site?
Yeah…they b3nd 0v3r backwards to make sure that doesn’t happen!
*Delurks*
*SQUEEZE!*
*Lurks*
GAYNOR!!!!!!!!
*squeezes my favourite golden dragon in the whole wide world*
How’ve you been? We missed you!
My favorite censorship fail:
When some filter turned “assassinate” into “buttbuttinate”!
Hahahaha Excellent!
can’t stop laughing
:D
You spelled “assasinate” wrong.
Therefore this never happened.
It would only bu “buttasinate”.
Which isn’t nearly as funny…
Be*
Darn you bad typing habits!
1. You misspelled “be” in a post meant to correct someone’s spelling error. I know everyone makes mistakes, but that is the kind of post you proofread.
2. A-S-S-A-S-S-I-N-A-T-E
3. Safety
Clbuttic mistake.
Mbuttive attack.
My best friend named his son willy
how are going the kids call him?
“hey w****y, how does your name spell?”
“Double you star star star why”
My dad is your best friend?
Free Weezy
nice. i bet no one got the reference…
|the kid|
Willy means Penis
Three cheers to Captain Obvoius!
And another one for me, Captain Orthography!
free penis XD
Only if you shake it more than 3 times.
They’ve got the rating wrong too. It’s rated PG, not G
Not this version
another example of unnecessary censorship … here you go, Jimmy Kimmel.
Thing is, Inglourious Basterds would probably get past that filter…
I’ve always wondered about that title…wow, Quentin really thought ahead!
HaHaHa EPIC FAILSSSSSS
Reminds me of this hilarious BBC news story. Clickie my name.
Traditional British fare is ripe for this: clickie.
wf why would they * out the name? total fail but i have seen better
Aaaaahahahaha! über fail!
Free Wally?
That’s a whale of a fail.
(Sorry, had to)
Obviously the censors read my poem which I wrote around the time of the movie:
“Free Willy from your pants,
Then kiss your ass goodbye;
And if you miss it, then Walter Lantz
Has a wooden pecker standing by…”
Oh no, spam on the failblog
*puts on best Mick Dundee voice*
That’s not an Aussie censorship fail, THIS (see below) is an Aussie censorship FAIL!!!
{http://www.news.com.au/technology/south-australian-state-government-gags-internet-debate/story-e6frfro0-1225825750956}
I dont get it
In some english speaking countries Willy, instead of being a nickname for someone named William, is a slang term for a man’s p*n*s. So Willy, even though it was the whale’s name, was censored.
It’s not so much a censorship fail (though I notice they didn’t censor the title of Free Willy 2) as a slang/name fail. Some things just don’t cross the pond well.
ponos?
I didn’t want to be moderated for typing the proper name for a man’s pee-tube/tallywacker/dingle-dong.
Did you know that the word “dork” is the proper name for a whale’s p3n1s?
chanreference, man, don’t sweat it
This is actually a double-fail. The movie was released in 1993, not 1997.
also we forgot to exclude *** and ****** and the **** word
it’s a photoshop job
I googled it and discovered that Google employs the digitally ancient convention of using asterisks as wildcards.
Sure, that goes back decades but I haven’t used wildcards in a while so I didn’t expect to see that.
that’s n***
(oups, it filtered too) ^_*
**** * ***** **’* ****
I’ve checked iTunes, and it is the Australian iTunes.
I just checked, and it’s the New Zealand iTunes too *sigh*
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is also censored… wtf!
What’s the time? It’s time to get ***.
wow thanks for the comments =] i thought it would be a fail fail
Fail, you can read the name on the coverart. Need more black bars !!!!!
Fail whale? LOL.
Free room, free food, free swimming pool, free HBO, Free Willy!
They also censored the word “Jailbreak” once.
Willy says: ‘Free me or ****!’
Perhaps the censorship supports the anti-whaling campaign.
Free Woody? Oh, I get it, “woody” is slang for an erection!
This movie suddenly has a whole new target audience.
I can’t believe in the whole thread so far no-one’s congratulated the submitter on excellent placement of FAIL-stamp.
Well played, Catchapootwo, well played.
This just gives me more ideas.
“Free Winky”? “Free Wanky”?
lol now it says fail willy
Free Wally? I thought it was supposed to be Find Wally
it must have been the european version since they use the word willy as another name for penis!
F***b***.org?
Nice photoshopping..
Its not photoshoped its in the austrailian store
FREE PENIS
George W. B**h
T*y Story
Live Free or Die H*rd
LOL!
Must be from russia, because will is censored
In some countries, willy means penis. That’s why they censored it. lmao
So technically, it’s not a fail o__o
