Creepy-crawlies on TV bug most Cambodians
Phnom Penh - It might be standard fare in America but straitlaced Cambodia has decided it cannot stomach any more Fear Factor-style TV shows.

The show Brave, Brave Or Not, the south-east Asian nation's first bite at daredevil programming, has been ordered off the air after just four screenings for being too racy.

"I am writing a letter to the TV station to tell them to avoid such a crazy game in the future," Information Minister Lu Laysreng told reporters.

"It is a dirty game. It might be alright in America but it is not appropriate for Cambodian culture," he said. "Children are always watching TV and they sometimes copy what they see."
