Pornography is legal in Australia. Very legal. Extremely legal. Only the illegal stuff is not legal. But noone knows what that looks like. The legal stuff looks pretty good though.

However In Texas, it’s against the law for anyone to have a pair of pliers in his or her possession. Guns yes, pliers no.

The 10,000 banned websites carry details of Australia’s cricket record this year

Now where did I put my copy of Geriatric Backdoor Bangers

Don’t worry. Down Under we do not have a particularly good record in adhering to the laws that actually make sense. Laws that don’t make sense are considered more of an encouragement to the general populace to go out and do as much of (whatever it is we’re not supposed to be doing) as possible. Even if we don’t like doing that.

Oh and has anyone else noticed that this is happening under the “liberal” (as opposed to Liberal) Australian government that was going to heal the wounds of John Howard’s 100-year fascist theocracy and restore freedom to our once-great nation?

Just to give a little perspective, this is the country that allows registered brothels, but bans pornography. In other words, you can buy whatever services you like, but you had better not record the occasion, or the full majesty of the law will come on you (presumably not sitting on your face). Short version: touch, but don’t look.

Don’t get me wrong, we Americans love Australia. We just think they’re a bit scary, that’s all.
