Sex Toon Of Prince Felipe Causes Scandal

A satire magazine's copies have been withdrawn from circulation for a toon that showed Prince Felipe having sex with his wife with the tagline that it was the only time he worked!

The measure has reignited debate over press censorship. High Court Judge Juan Del Ormo ruled that the cartoon insults the dignity of the royal family, and ordered the seizure of all copies of that particular issue of the weekly "El Jueves". It shows the Prince engaged in conjugal relations with his wife, and saying that it was the nearest thing he's ever done to working. It's a satirical reference to a new Spanish law that will see parents receive 2,500 euros for each new born baby.

Makes one wonder why we are expected to tolerate toons about divinity but not those about who have the divine right to rule.
