Nie wieder Brüste nach Belgien schicken

Klar, Kleinkindfütterung auf Facebook, das geht gar nicht, aber ein paar Postkarten beklebt mit barbusigen Kunstdamen verschicken geht scheinbar überhaupt nicht, auch wenn die Briefmarke eine Steilvorlage ist. Jedenfalls in Belgien, wo Philippe Pissier, einsamer Steiter der heren Kunst der Mail-Art von der wir noch nie was gehört haben, sich jetzt saftiger Geldstrafe und Knast ausgesetzt sieht. Postkarten also demnächst nur noch verschlüsselt nach Belgien schicken.

First, they asked me questions about my professional life, they showed my postcards (under court seal) and tell me that someone filed a complaint against me using the article 227-24 of the New Penal code, which stipulates that – the simple act of making, traveling with or transporting, and promoting by any ways a message with a violent or pornographic content or with the intention of hurting human dignity can be punishable with 3 years in jail and 500 000 euros when the message can be seen by an underage person.”

I answered : “the mailbox is managed by an adult, the postman and the other employees are also – and the same goes for the recipient.”

And my interrogator countered with: “Yes, but imagine that the postman has your cards in his hand, that they happen to fall, and then suddenly a minor appears who happens upon them. This is likely to happen.”

I was genuinely speechless.
