Just wanted to let all my fellow Canadians know that I recently had a package of 3 DVDs seized and deemed prohibited.
The DVDs were:
Skeeter Kerkoves "Spent"
Max Hardcores "Planet Max 18 and Universal Max 2"

The determination on why these were prohibited:
"sex with pain"

Customs officials were not very helpful with this issue and at one point one officer told me " I was lucky it wasn't child p*rn" It kind of blew me away to be honest. The package was properly labelled etc. First time in probably over 100 shipments that anything like this has happened.
I had to write a letter to the agency telling them to destroy the product and lost my money for these DVDs.

Just thought I would let you know....

what a weird thing for the officer to come out with.

Of course if it was child p**n then you deserve to get the book thrown at you.

But this wasn't child p**n. i was hardcore sex between consenting adults over the age of 18 years of age.
If it is considered "sex with pain" then just state this as the reason for confiscation.

Why o why do people/organizations that disagree with legal pornography try to confuse the issue by bringing up illegal porn such as child/scat etc.

You have to realize that Max Hardcore shoots a lot of stuff where the girl is pretending to be a teen, hinting at being underage.
From what I understand, that is the gray area here in Canada as far as kiddie porn is concerned. It doesn't necessarily have to contain underage people, it only has to be suggested and presented as underage. If you dress the girl up real young and have her say she's underage even though she isn't, that's enough to get in trouble, from what I understand.

I heard of a man in Canada who used to jerk off to tapes of "Little House on the Prairie" (he'd only taped the scenes with kids). He was charged for child porn.

I don't think that story is true Tinaka but you never know. Canada is a little sensitive towards kiddie porn, there's been a lot of cases for a country this small in population.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I just couldn't believe that the officer said that to me. To me I think it was just a power trip thing, but it was unneccessary to say the least.
Another interesting development, every single package since this has happened that I have imported has been opened, and they are charging me excessive duties, often wrongfully, as some of the DVDs are used, private sales etc.
I wonder if I have been flagged? What a ridiculous system and waste of time and money. I would love to fight this, but they kind of got me by the balls, it would probably elevate my "risk" level and cause more issues.

Border guards can be the biggest pricks on the planet. I've had numerous run-ins with their attitude.

Things were more ugly in the 70's and 80's when only a bunch of U.S. dealers could get their stuff through the customs. The Danes and the Swedish were a lot more reliable in delivering porn items to your door back in those days. In the late 80's anal stuff was banned buy the Canadian customs. I lost big money before giving up importing from the U.S. I tought our problems with those narrow-minded custom officers were over until I saw your post axlsfury. Have you considered a change of address for a while a P.O. box for instance?

Make sure you let us know the outcome as we all could go through the same experience at one time or another.

In Western Australia we have a wonderfully archaic crime under the Police Act called "having evil designs".

Now, this is a rarely used law which has become popular in recent years in order to prosecute pedophiles. Basically, if a convicted pedophile is seen talking to children or even loitering around a playground they are prosecuted for having "evil designs".

Therefore, based on this particular law I could definitely see a local guy who has videos of children from a mainstream tv show that he watches over and over again facing the full force of the law.

I personally think this is a great piece of creative law enforcement when it comes to pedophiles. However, there is a more sinister side to the law.

About ten years ago a guy was prosecuted for "having evil designs" after allegedly peering down the top of a salesgirl's blouse in a major department store. An example of the Thought Police at work!
