Skimp on the Boobie

Dude, there are some crazy people living in Australia. I mean, there are crazy people everywhere, and many of them have their own reality TV shows, but Australia has recently gotten my attention with their own special brand of crazy.

Perhaps you’ve heard that their censorship board recently banned all pornography featuring small breasted women, as well as that which shows female ejaculation. Their reasoning? The appearance of tiny titties “promotes pedophilia” and the much debated phenomenon of female ejaculation, they have decided, is 1)just urination, and therefore already banned under the classification of “golden showers,” and 2) gushing is “abhorrent.”

I know, right?  I’m all WTF?!, too.

Man, censorship blows. It raises my libertarian hackles. The new internet filter will affect millions of websites which depict these things, as well as those that link to them. Sorry, Aussies! I guess this is goodbye!

“All books can be indecent books, though recent books are bolder.
For filth, I’m glad to say, is in the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed, everything is lewd.
I could tell you things about Peter Pan,
And the Wizard of OZ, there’s a dirty old man!”

-Tom Lehrer
