Stupidest thing to ever be banned?

[DSD12]

In my school they banned the book "Diary of Anne Frank" because it was too depressing yet we had a lot of graphic books about the holocaust (facepalm)

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.

I never had Kinder Surprises. I had Yowies. A australian company (I can't remember if they had chocolate with them) which distributed containers with little buildable toys which genreally did a little motion and all thoe yowie animal toys were australian animals. And then there were the actual Yowies which were the "keepers" of the australian environments. Sounds a bit silly but was fun to collect them
My point is that banning kinder surprises isnt so bad. JUST HAVE A YOWIE!

Public Nudity. What is wrong with it?

Well if I was in a restaurant eating my burger and some naked person comes in with very poor hygiene. I would probably puke my insides out?

And then make then eat it! While doing backflips! >

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'!

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

I require a source.

OT: At the moment, I've got nothing.

Ummmm, it's kind of a police state that doesn't acknowledge the existence of Tibet. Fascist, yes, stupid, no.

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.

This, as it's pretty serious. Australia is easily the most right wing, fascistic country in the west, but this is damn ridiculous. There are plenty of women who have to deal with image issues constantly, especially if they have smaller breasts, and then for the government to go ahead and reaffirm these personal issues by claiming that small breasted women aren't fully matured women at all. Damn, what a load of cunts.

This and the inability to create a small chested women in games. It's not a banning so much, but it relates the issue above. Marijuana as well. In fact, loads of crap, the world is shite, and people are worse

I think one of the popes in the 1100's banned using Crossbows against Christian armies. Something to do with English crossbowmen massacring French knights and Nobles during some battle.

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

That's actually a pretty common misconception [http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/finland.asp]

...What?

No, seriously, explain this one to me. I've never heard of this before.

It was more of a being banned from video games for being a girl kind of thing. Not so much a big widespread ban. But it's relevant enough to mention, as it's probably the only one I've been subject to or that's really affected me. :3

Sorry for the confusion there. :3

Ok, so it was more of a douche bag server admin than law then. That makes a lot more sense now.

That's what I get for getting my news from alternative rock radio stations.

Well, I was originally going to say Prohibition, so I guess I'll offer that as a replacement. It really was the perfect example of the cure being worse than the disease.

I think mustaches are illegal in my state.
And for a bloody good reason. Which has since been forgotten. XD

My school's computers block some websites because they are "Educational."
