What the Government DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE!

I'm going to rename this to the Sunday blog. I've created like 4 posts today. Maybe I'll save this one for early next week.
The government of Canada publishes a quarterly list of prohibited titles. These are titles that have been seized by customs agents and referred to a board to see if the materials meet Canadian standards. Who is on the board? How do you appeal? Why do they not provide a complete list of rejected titles? These people have no accountability. For example, why was an item deemed "Prohibited" from entry into Canada? No one knows and no one is able to ask.
I think we Canadians should be concerned about this censorship and in an effort to enlighten, I wanted to examine what exactly was being banned. If you want to sign up for the list email piu-uip@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca

Banned title #1- Knights of the Cross Produced by Tightrope Records.
You can read this whole comic here. It doesn't seem that bad to me. Here's a panel:

Now what's funny is this comic was banned but "Racist Jokes", incorrectly labeled "Nigger Jokes" by the government of Canada was fine. Sample jokes:
What's the difference between a jew and a pizza?
A pizza doesn't scream in the oven.

What did the Alabama sherriff call the nigger who had been shot 15 times?
Worst case of suicide he had ever seen.

What do nigger kids get for Christmas?
Your bike.

You hear about the new car made in Israel?
Not only can it stop on a dime, it will go back and pick it up.

What's the most confusing day in Harlem?
Father's Day.

What is the difference between Batman and a black man?
Batman can go out at night without Robin.

Why did the Jews wander in the desert for 40 years?
Because one of them lost a quarter.

Both are available for 20 cents each here. I'm going to get this blog banned yet!

Banned Title #2 - Flashbang! by Yoshitatsu Kiichigono

I thought this comic was pretty cool. You can read the first chapter here. I suggest you check it out, it's hot! You can buy it off amazon.com here. No idea why it was banned.
A bunch of incest and bondage anime.... still looking for something good...
A great film I found, not sure if it was banned previously, Hitler Sucks in which "lots and lots of kinky sex is peppered with dialogue, swastika's and black and white footage pertaining to Hitler. But this film doesn't discriminate like he did. Everyone can have sex with everyone else. Anglo Saxon or not these sexpots want to be fucked and Hitler is trying to continue the human race!"


Yep. Next up we have Banned Title #3 - Jesus Christ, Serial Rapist.

"A schizophrenic believing himself to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ seeks vengeance against those who he believes are the reincarnations of the people who wronged him in the past in this surreal exploitation sentry from Bad Acid director Bill Zebub. As he sets out on a path of destruction and murder that would put Lucifer to shame, the appearance of one of his victim's girlfriends during a moment of murderous rage prompts the vengeful would-be savior to begin targeting the women of his enemies as well." You can buy it in Canada from amazon.ca here. So much for blocking entry into the country. Why bother?
What's funny is how the straight porn industry still is as racist as can be and no one seems to care. Take for example "Oh no! There's a NEGRO in my mom!"

Nice.
God this list is long. Is anyone else spending 4 hours of their Sunday afternoon doing this?
That's enough for now.
