Starting Monday, the principal at Pottstown Middle School is enacting a ban on Uggs and “open-top boots” in response to kids’ stashing phones and snacks in their fugly footwear during class.

And not for the reason you probably think. This ad for Miu Miu featuring “True Grit” actress Hailee Steinfeld was deemed “irresponsible.” Another prudish ruling from the same authority that banned the Marc Jacobs ad with Dakota Fanning.

“Sexually Provocative” Dakota Fanning Ad Banned In United Kingdom

This is gross. A gross miscarriage of free speech, that is! Gotcha. No, really…the Advertising Standards Authority in Great Britain deemed this rather bland Marc Jacobs ad inappropriate. Because Fanning is 17. And the bottle is between her legs. You need to unstiffen your upper lips a bit, UK.

Kanye West ‘Monster’ Video (NSFW)

This video for Kanye West’s “Monster” is getting accused of misogyny and yanked off of websites. There are quite a few dead and dismembered women. But Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj show up and rap about vampires and goblins, so it can’t be all bad. View List ›

Marmite Banned In Denmark

Revolting and gross, maybe, but worthy of a full-on ban? The Danish government recently banned the yeasty spread for being too darn healthy, as it violates laws that govern the sale of products fortified with added vitamins.

The Situation’s Banned Jokes, Presented By The Leprechaun

The Situation’s comedy routine at the roast of Donald Trump was instantly hailed the worst thing ever, but it somehow just got worse. Comedy Central deemed a joke aimed at Snoop Dogg as too racist and cut it from the broadcast. Here is that joke, plus a few more offensive cracks at the expense of Marlee Matlin and Larry King that were omitted, as told by the The Leprechaun from “Leprechaun.” Y’know, because it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Shut up. View List ›

Smutty Suit Ads

A Dutch company called Suitsupply launched a softcore advertising campaign that was recently banned from Facebook. The campaign is called “Shameless,” which is proof that there’s occasionally truth in advertising. This stuff is basically porn with pinstripes, so it can safely be labeled NSFW. And is that Boromir from Lord of the Rings? Via. View List ›
