Cencorship

Now that I've started a post on comics, I'm on a roll.

Last weekend I went over to my favourite Mind Shop in CentrePoint. X-Men issue 200 was out. I was reviewing the cover online and I could not wait to get my hands on it. This was the cover:


But when I got it, the lady gave me this!


So I was like, wah lao eh.. why kena this cover leh, Ah Soh (the lady at the counter is this old lady who has been at the shop for more than 15 years... yes.. she is that old).

The Ah Soh said "ah.. this one variant cover. The nice cover, must pay RM4 more".

I'm like KNNECCB. How come kena RM4 more?

So the lady said "ah, actually the cover price same one, but nowadays, when the cover got sexy leng loi, we order from different source to circumvent customs. Last time, when got sexy leng loi on the cover, the cencorship now will confiscate la, blacken lah etc etc".

I'm like.. where got sexy leng loi one... then the Ah Soh points me out to Phoenix on the cover (she's near Wolverine). I'm like.. wah lao eh.. that one also can kena sai ah?

Ya lor, the Ah Soh says. She says that nowadays, the cencorship board got lady officers from Kelantan one.. so sure kena sai one.. I'm like.. wah, if so mild also kena, what if there was Power Girl? Sure kena one, says Ah Soh. Then I pointed to another cover


This one we also kena, last week! Ayo!
