I am often shocked when what I consider to be a relatively entertaining film makes it unexpectedly into the news.

Coming from South Wales the town of Bridgend is one of many South Wales towns that many people hear of and don't have reason to visit. It's a fairly sleepy town and whilst it has seen some regeneration with the McArthur Glen shopping mall it isn't that special.

Then back late last year something weird started going on. There were quite a few suicides amongst the town, and in fact the locality's teenager.  Some people insensitively joke that they would too if they lived there. Anyway the stories have had loads of coverage both locally back home and across the UK and the one thing that keeps coming up is the fact that they can't find a connection between them.

Anyway last Monday I went to see the new M Night Shymalman (or however you spell his name) film. As I say I found it quite an entertaining movie but didn't take it too seriously. 

The next day I read this: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7463814.stm

Censorship. Is this a step too far? Is it kind of suggesting that anyone who lives in Bridgend and watches this film may be inspired by the going ons and take their life into their hands?

In saying all this I really feel I need to give a disclaimer: I like Bridgend - one of my best friends family lives there and another close friend went to college there. I have on a few occasions chosen a quiet night out in Bridgend over a night out in a larger city. There is nothing wrong with the place in my eyes!
