Doll nipples deemed too risque for Facebook

Outrage is rife within the Facebook doll-loving community today after the social network banned pictures of dolls with exposed nipples from their site.

A Sydney jeweler uploaded pictures (one of them is seen to the left) of her products with a naked doll in the picture. Facebook threatened action against the woman, who identifies with dolls 'for inspiration' and owns a high-end jewelry store on George Street.

Facebook claims that the images constitute a breach of their terms of service, and have threatened to remove them. Meanwhile, nutter-lady and doll nudity enthusiast/jeweler, Victoria Buckley, can only wait and be afraid over the fate of her naked doll pictures.

Tiger penis found at Auckland Airport

In a rather odd twist of news this afternoon, a Cambodian woman has been caught (allegedly) smuggling a tiger's penis into New Zealand.

The illegal item, which may cost the woman up to $100,000 in fines, was discovered by a sniffer dog at Auckland Airport after she arrived from Singapore on Saturday. According to Stuff.co.nz:

A search of the woman, who was travelling with her daughter and husband, allegedly revealed a stocking tied around her waist and a plastic bag around her leg.

What is particularly worrying about this case for bio-security and environmental specialists is that tigers are endangered in many parts of the world and are protected by the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species.

In the 2008-09 year, officials seized over 126,000 goods identified as risky for the environment.
