The law was introduced in 1644 by Oliver Cromwell to combat gluttony. What festive spirit. This law is one of many obsolete decrees that modern justice has neglected to cancel and is therefore – in theory – still, erm, legal.

BEIJING, October 2007 – China’s communist government have banned television and radio ads for push-up bras, sex toys and figure-enhancing under garments.

Television shows about cosmetic surgery and sex changes have been banned, as have 11 radio shows which were deemed to be broadcasting material of an “extreme pornographic nature”…read more
