BBM was shown recently on British TV, and without any censoring (though as someone said earlier, it was after the "9pm watershed", and it was on Channel 4, which is well known for openly broaching 'adult' themes).
I can (leaving aside our feelings about it being butchered) sort of accept a film being censored if it's to be shown during early evening viewing when kids might be watching on one level, but surely if programmers know a film's content's not suitable for a younger audience (and in the case of BBM it's classification kinda gives that away) why the hell put it on at that sort of time anyhow??
Sounds like in this case the fact that every other scene but the Jack/Lureen one got chopped is a very clear case of obviously biased censorship to say the least, and I'm not surprised you're mad.

ChrisC:
I'm right behind you Fiona, it's a shame that this was censored so much in the US, and as you rightly mention it is sending out all the wrong messages to people who have never see it.
I'm glad it was shown in it's entirity he in the UK, it prompted me to watch the DVD, buy the AP novel, and just as importantly, sign up to Bettermost.
You go girl
