Reactions to regulations, especially where a tax is involved, are a peculiar thing. Take for example what just happened in Helsinki:

Finland has rated the DVD release of the much-loved children’s television series “Little House on the Prairie” suitable for adult viewing only.

To save money, Universal Pictures decided not to submit the series to state inspection, the company’s Finland marketing manager Meri Suomela told Reuters on Wednesday.

The rate is 2 euros a minute for an inspection. Reuters also reports the show is already shown publicly every Sunday morning by the national station. Ironic? Maybe the over-18 rating will help generate new interest.
