Yeah, it's not a joke. As far as I know, Kinder Surprise eggs are illegal in the United States because there's a risk kids (and not kids) will accidentally try to eat the toy inside and choke.

@Streetwalrus in USA and Canada, it just takes 1 fatal injury report that involves a lawsuit before something gets banned. Happened with many toys too. Toys that were deemed safe if safety instructions got followed, yet one person got injured or died and now the toy is banned. Thankfully in Canada it seems more lax, though, otherwise Nerf guns would have been banned ages ago or restricted to adult usage.

Yeah, GEMA is one of the worst thing for musicians in Germany. I bet some artists refuse to publish their work there just because of it, kinda like our stupid contest laws in Quebec. For ages I always saw thing such as "Contest available to all US and Canadian participants above 18 (excluding Quebec)", and I thought companies just had something against French people, and many others who are unaware of our contest laws think that this is intended to be some form of bigotry and that it is as bad as if for example Nintendo posted "Contest available to all White, non-Muslim US and Canadian residents above 18". It's only when doing a bunch of Google searches about why we're always excluded that it's our overly restrictive contest laws that makes it extremely difficult for companies to organize contests in Quebec. Thankfully, this only applies to lottery-based contests, not skill-based ones, so for example, a TI programming contest would be fine. Otherwise, for a lottery-based contest, a French copy of the rules must be provided and if the winner is in Quebec, we must pay the equivalent of 10% of the total contest prize value as a tax to "Régie des Alcools, des Courses et des Jeux" (Alcoholic Beverage, Race Betting and Gambling Agency)

Back on topic, I didn't get much, because like @aeTIos , we don't really do the gift thing anymore in my family. Because there aren't really kids around anymore and the fact most gifts ended up being gift cards, we figured that we would be better off just focusing on spending time together more and going to the restaurant on New Year Day.

Nuff said. :P

GEMA actually had to unblock a lot of videos a while back due to some decision in the EU court IIRC. So that's nice.

If only the youtube blockade was the only thing GEMA is responsible for... they're just plain thieves.
