twitter's Journal: South Africa Outlaws Kissing.

Just when you thought punitive protection of minors could not get any more stupid, South Africa outlaws kissing between minors:

Twelve to 15-year-olds fall under the new legislation, which covers acts that it describes as "consensual sexual violation". ... Among the acts defined as "sexual violation" in the bill include "direct or indirect contact... between the mouth of one person... and the mouth of another person".

Don't blow kisses in South Africa.
