  PC police strike again in canada

toronto city officials forced canadian Miss Universe Natalie Glebova to remove her sash and tiara in order to comply with an obscure bylaw "against activities which degrade men and women through sexual stereotypes or exploit their bodies to attract attention."
realizing this action to be "unfortunate and silly", toronto mayor david miller apologized rather promtly.

btw, this same bylaw was invoked in 1992 to prevent the barenaked ladies from performing. although i'm not nearly as outraged about that action, considering their music...
