I found this amusing.

A friend of mine ordered the book "Gay Men Draw Vaginas" for her (gay) friend as a Christmas present.

She was informed by our customs service that the article had been classified as Dangerous Goods as it contained "Sexual Drawings" (surprise, surprise). The person at customs was, however, willing to clarify the matter to confirm the items classification and requested an invoice for the item from my friend.

Here is the pitch video for kickstarter (pretty amusing, hardly pornographic (a rubics cube being one of the drawings) not that that should matter):

My friend sent back an email with the invoice together with some comment along the lines of "what kind of a word do we live in where art is considered a dangerous good".

The response from the person she is dealing with at customs was that the request to reclassify the item had been made and that the customs officer's explanation of "a book of quirky art and expression" with the invoice, should be enough for the good to be reclassified from a Dangerous Good. She also said "I'll be waiting to hear from the Warehouse so that I can update you accordingly. Until then, all we have is faith in humans, their imaginations, and of course Australia's shipping guidelines." Ha ha!

I have seen a fair bit of art over my years. Some of it in fairly well known art galleries. There are lots of vaginas and penises and boobies. I didn't realise that those pictures were actually Dangerous Goods. My life must very much be in danger having spent so many minutes looking at those paintings.

Anyway, this is the kind of crap we have to put up with in Australia. Seeing as we have our video games censored quite frequently, I thought some people here might find this interesting/amusing.

Vaginas might be almost as dangerous as nipples. We must absolutely be protected from ever seeing those. Because reasons.

If the left get their way, this kind of censorship will take over the Earth! Triggered!

I thought this kind of ultra-conservative thinking sat on the right of the political spectrum.

Yeah, it's not like we all had a good, close look at the inside of a vagina at the start of our lives...

In Australia it is the left that pushes for retaining things like the Racial Discrimination Act, which is intended to make hate speech illegal and the right which pushes to abolish it. However both the left and the right want to maintain this kind of censorship, although both the far left and our equivalent of the libertarian right want to abolish it.

Both ends of the extreme left and right end up basically doing the same shit. That's why liberal and conservative societies still always end up with revolutions.

One minute everyone's acting like a bunch of dicks. The next thing you know everyone's acting like a bunch of pussies. Either way, you still end up dealing with genitals.

It gets worse... Let's just say, never look into your pants, you never know what you might encounter there...

Anything with Vaginas are dangerous.
Even Vaginas themselves are dangerous goods.

*points rocket launcher*
Fuckin' A

Crews,I'm shocked.
You changed it mid sentence.

yeah i didn't like that one i posted. the second pic gets more of the manic feel and all vaginas are going to kill you feel :)

I prefer the nurse,ones.

But dangerous for who and how? O_o

But vaginas and penises ARE dangerous, bring two together without taking precautions and yet another mouth to feed on this overpopulated world is born! Overpopulation is a dangerous thing, even without the risk to your uninterrupted nights and the quiet to read a book or time to play a game!
