Stupidest thing to ever be banned?

[icame]

Things get banned all the time. Sometimes its for legitimate reasons. Other times the reasoning behind seems to of been done by someone with half a brain.

The stupidest i can think of is when china banned football manager 05' for portraying Tibet as a country. China does a lot of stupid stuff but cmon'!

On my highschool, smoking wasn't allowed on school grounds. So everyone took 1 step outside of the fence and smoked. Pretty damn stupid if you ask me.

They banned the use of any electronic device besides a calculator during school hours. I understand some of it but then there's the walking into another, less frustrating teacher's room and telling their students what to do.

As above, except we started to program games on the calculators.
Now calculators are banned in Calculus.
/facepalm

Trolls. Banning them isn?t stupid, but they are the stupidest thing TO BE banned.

Alcohol. Prohibition was so silly. And now we're seeing the same thing happen with weed.

My high school tried to ban flip flops because it was thought they presented an unnecessary tripping risk that their insurance wouldn't cover. Didn't really go over well.

Also, the banning of Peyton Place. Seriously 1950's America?

Mass effect in Singapore. They basically banned it for the lesbo sex scene and the next day went "alien sex... why not" then unbanned it...

Not entirally true but it was still ridiculous

1984 by George Orwell, banned in Russia, USA and Britain during the cold war.. kind of ironic if you ask me..

Kissing was banned at my secondary school, I should have gone on a free love campaign..

I know.

Alcohol may not be a good thing, but seriously, they thought it would work?

Banning girls in video games 4-6 years ago. Cmon guys, we just want to play too. :3

Didn't they ban Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs from the United States on the grounds that "It's like hiding something within something else, so it teaches kids about contraband".

If not that reason then for some other reason. I just know I heard that they banned them.

Ever heard of "Passive Smoking"? I think that's the real reason for this "stupid" ban, personally I gag whenever I inhale cigarette smoke, I doubt I'm the only one who finds it utterly disgusting.
