U.S. Censors "Teenie Weenie"

When German children's book author Rotraut Susanne Berner received a call from her American agent saying her latest in the international awarding "Wimmelbucher" series was to be published in the states she was elated.

But she quickly lost her "high" when her agent told her there had to be some changes for it to be published in America ... it had already been published in 13 countries around the world unchanged.

So what was the reason for the changes?

Well it seems her hand drawn illustrations of both children and adults in an art museum looking at the art - which included a nude of a woman - was unacceptable for American audiences. See the illustration below to see what had the American Censors so up in arms about.



Now that is horrid, horrid I tell you!




But what was the "real" kicker was this illustration of a women viewing a small statue of a man and if you look extremely close you can see a pimple sized bulge that is his penis showing.

Check out this illustration (actual sized) and see what you think!(Magnifying glass not included)

Don't know about you but some have WAAAAAYYYYYY too much time on their hands!
