Playboy chair displayed in shop is banned by police after customer complains - GoFuckYourself.com

Public outrage: Designer Laura Diez with her offending Playboy chair at the gallery in Lewes, east Sussex. She was stunned when police ordered her to remove one of the offending items after a customer complained that it was 'obscene'.

Officers told Mrs Wilkes her £95 vintage furniture contravened the Obscene Publications Act because it is decorated with 1950s Playboy magazines, which features images of topless women. Source: dailymail.co.uk

doesn't england have topless women in their newspapers ?

i am not really that surprised as i can't think of many places/countries , you could show a topless cover of a playboy in public. Allowing a piece of "art" with the same picture kind of cheats the rule don't you think ?

Of course it stands to reason that the complaining customer also has the right to keep his or her uptight judgemental priggish face out of that gallery. But of course that's not good enough these days. Just like the one politically correct fool who complained about Dire Straights's song "Mone for Nothing" and got the uncensored version banned for a time all across Canadian airwaves.

One uptight bitch trumps all lately, it would seem.

I'm sure it's always the same uptight bitch.

Where can I buy ad space on these chairs?

LiveDose · 01-03-2012, 03:30 PM

I want 4 for my dining room.

INever · 01-03-2012, 06:40 PM

This happened in the UK. I don't think this would happen in a big US city. Least I hope not.

GARY LEE · 01-04-2012, 03:55 AM

I'm surprised something that stupid doesn't happen more often. It seems like there always has to be one out there.

BIGTYMER · 01-04-2012, 04:00 AM

Dont show that bitch the interweb.

TheDA · 01-04-2012, 04:33 AM

The guy should have left it in the window. It's unlikely they would have went the whole way and prosecuted.

Although it is the UK where the justice system is fucked up

John-ACWM · 01-04-2012, 06:31 AM

great chair!

pornguy · 01-04-2012, 06:42 AM

I think the person selling/making the chairs should be allowed to confront the accuser.
