So my web page 
        http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~dyee/cases/Salo.html
would be refused classification (= "classified RC") because
        * it is a film (being a web page)
        * it contains publicity ("an advertisement") for a film which
        has been refused classification (Salo)

I'd like to verify this, so would some linker care to submit a
complaint about that page to the ABA?  (The ABA considers complaints
about one's own pages "not in good faith", so I can't do that myself.)
