What Did You Think Those Tentacles Were For?

The San Bernardino County, California, Board of Supervisors has ordered a book on Japanese comics removed from local libraries. A resident complained that "Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics" contains illustrations of sex acts. "This book is absolutely inappropriate for a public library and as soon as I was made aware of it, I ordered it to be removed," said board chairman and county executive officer Bill Postmus. Postmus has also ordered library officials develop a policy "for protecting children" by limiting what they can check out.
