Just read through this one, attracted by the idea in the logline.

It's a really good idea.

There's a lot going on in there for a short script. A lot of characters to develop and distinguish. Plus a very surreal situation (and expensive to film perhaps). Also, there's a couple of really challenging visuals, making this a comedy that's certainly not for the faint hearted. Censorship for its own sake is not good, but does the story need you to be so hardcore?

There's definitely something interesting there though... that would make be unusual and imaginative on screen... so worth a rewrite, now that you have a clear concept...
