Pokeymen cards.
I can understand banning Pokemon cards, but Pokeymen? Seriously? Not cool.

A cup breasts in porn in Australia. i am serious look it up. they banned it for reasons it looks like Loli porn. I can not kid you here.
Also this, I am not Australian, but this is just fucking stupid.
I find it funny Australia is so uptight about things considering Britan just shipped all its convicts there.
I can't help but get the impression that this was put in place due to the following happening.

A) Uptight boring person (or persons) get put on a meaningless council so other people don't have to talk to them.
B) Uptight council comes up with ridiculous rule on minimum breast size for porn, and they take it to their superior.
C) Superior says: "Sure, let's just put that rule in place. Because it's a big priority, and as you all know we have so much control over an industry that's almost entirely internet based and most of those involved work under pseudonyms."
D) Uptight council fails to recognise sarcasm.
E) Nobody can be bothered to deal with it because they'd have to talk to the uptight
people and the rule makes no difference anyway.
F) No profit.

Seriously, I would be surprised if there was a single case of that rule being enforced.

Lets see, my school banned: Google,Bing,Yahoo and basicalled anything that has a image searching thing because one person out of 1000 managed to successfully search for porn. It left most us that are taking Graphic Design completely buggered for images apart from any outside sources which not all of us have access to,and despite our constant moaning to them, they refuse to lift the ban. And besides, It annoys me constantly having other students in my school shouting down my ear to tell them to change. Even though I'm the student representative for my mini-school, they just won't listen. Well, that was slightly long. >.<

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.
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.
Personally I hate the Anti-Smoking Groups, Posters, and Ads so much...I smoked my first cigar. And while I now only smoke in times of really really really great triumph...I still did smoke just because those guys can't make a simple statement without holding me down and beating me senseless with the point.

TL;DR bad writing and stupid assembly skits should be banned in schools.

I'd heard once that Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland due to the lack of pants.

When i was in school playing football was completly banned on school grounds after a football was blown off the pitch on a very windy day and hit a girl ane her parents complained to the school. I wonder if there was a connection to the ban and the school football team not winning another game that year

In the late 1800's a Pope (Pope Pius III I think, not sure) tried to ban rationalism.

And this is centuries after the Age of Enlightenment, mind.

A county near where I grew up banned Harry Potter from public schools for years. This was the same county in Georgia who required a disclaimer in all science text books stating that evolution is just a theory and encourages students to consider all the alternatives.
Ah, Cobb County Georgia. Making me happy to not be living in that state anymore.

A children's book that is a true story of two male penguins in a zoo who coupled and adopted an egg together, meant to help children of same sex couples understand the uniqueness of their family wasn't evil or unnatural.

People went APESHIT over the gay penguin story, and banned it in many places. *Facepalm*

They banned smoking from my school, how rediculous is that. When I asked why they said that 8 year olds shouldn't be smoling...All kidding aside, I think it silly all the things Australia bans.

When parents keep there kids from hearing the opinions of people they don't agree with. Like if some kid's parents where republican and they didn't let them hear democratic opinions.

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'!
Careful what you say. China might be reading these forums.
