I told the photographers to try the local Wal-Mart, which does pretty good quality and quickly. They processed the film but then refused to print the pictures because some of the shots showed our models bare-breasted. I was completely floored by this insanity! The photographers who shot film had to wait until they got home to get their negatives printed.
Wal-Mart's policy is to not print pictures that show genitalia or breasts. I think this was a moral prudery issue for Sam Walton. Anyway, with the PR problems they already have, they don't want to bring any more moral crusaders down on them, so they are doubly careful.
There are not many things that I consider pure evil, but censorship is definitely one of them.
Please note, that for most labs, it is censorship under duress. William Robb
