Dutch City Fears Loss of Pornography Archive
The Dutch city of Leeuwarden has lost the municipal pornography archive and officials fear it may be gone forever. A spokesman for the city said the collection may have been taken home "accidentally" by an employee or visitor. "We're hoping that someone will say 'Hey, I have that in my attic' and bring it back," he said Thursday. "No questions asked." Leeuwarden shouldn't be too upset. I've found it a good practice to get rid of your porn archive and rebuild every 6 months or so.
As a resident of The Netherlands, I have to remark that it can't have been that good if it's taken 30+ years to go missing.

We do too, if you live in the US. Depending on which State/Country/jurisdiction you live in, porno actors are often registered with our government, certified to be above a certain age, tested for STDs, and must often include samples of their work to make sure that no underage lookalike takes over their identity.
If you've ever been to the Netherlands, you'd know by now that there are almost no taboos in PORN there.
- animals
- feces
- families
- furries
- adult babies
To be precise:
- everything except underage kids
(this was declared illegal because of international pressure in the 1970s or so)
So, just let me say: whatever there was in this collection, most people probably would not want to see it even if they were paid to. Really. Dutch sex shops have open windows and are running advertising and sample videos in TVs viewable by anyone. And these videos include all of the aforementioned abominations. I used to call my self tolerant and openminded, but this... EWWWWWWWW
