Title: Just had some good LULZ about this
Post by: Trevor on October 16, 2023, 02:38:35 PM
I'm currently reading the apartheid censor chief's memoirs and he said that in 1976, a SA company came out with a range of men's underpants with rude messages on the front, such as I HAVE THE BALLS TO DO THIS and THIS IS A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK  :teddyr: :teddyr:

The other censors wanted them banned but the consensus was "Underpants are private matters and cannot be held to be obscene in any way"  :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

Indeed: the apartheid censors were a joke unto themselves  :twirl: :drink: :wink:
