"How to make a joint" mobile video

A mobile video showing how to "make the perfect joint" has been banned following a complaint from a teacher, reports the BBC.

"The video was accompanied by "the top ten activities to try when you're caned".

It was available for download to mobile phones via the Tocmag service that lets users download films to their handset. It was downloaded an estimated 5,000 times.

Update: In a nice gesture, TocMag has issued a formal apology. Hey, not their fault and they reacted promptly when informed.

‘We unreservedly apologise for this oversight and we’re doing everything in our powers to ensure it doesn’t happen again,’ said Tocmag founder Brad Ells. ‘From the outset of this project, we realised illicit content is a serious problem with user-generated material. We have conducted a review of our censorship process and ramped-up the resources we devote to ensuring Tocmag is a clean service.’
