Haha, oh wow. I was selling some of Matt's hentai artbooks on eBay for him. There's dozens of the same books on the American eGay site, but today I received this notification saying that my listings had been removed:
Under Australian law it may be a criminal offence for you to buy or sell certain types of publications, films and computer games. The Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 sets out guidelines for the classification of these items. In general, if publications and computer games that are classified RC (refused classification) or films which are classified RC or X are considered by the authorities to be indecent. You may be committing an offence by buying or selling such items on eBay. Items that are intended for use in a sexual setting (including "bondage" and "fetish" items,) display sexual activity or portray human genitalia in a "life-like" or realistic fashion are not allowed and will be ended by eBay. An example of such an item not normally permitted would be a vibrator intended for use in sexual activity (massagers are OK.) Please also be aware that titles with graphic adult language are inappropriate, regardless of the item contained in the listing itself.
The funny thing is, none of these women had visible vaginas due to Japan's censorship rules >_> Under those rules, I sure hope there's no handcuffs or gynecologists' textbooks on eBay :/

Date: 2010-02-18 03:41 am (UTC)"The Australian Classification Board has decided to ban any adult films that feature female ejaculation because they deem the liquid expelled during squirting to be urine. Thus, it comes under the umbrella of “water sports” which our good censors deem to be an obscene activity that should never be depicted on film."

"The Australian Classifications Board has banned depictions of small-breasted women in erotic media on the grounds that it encourages paedophiles."
(forget where that came from)

They're using our Classification Board's guidelines for the mandatory filter!

Yay! Don't you feel safter knowing you're not going to stumble upon graphic novels of small brested woman ejactulating; thus turning you into a rabid pedo with a fear of water?
I feel safter already ^_^
