Peeing at the Border

Gay Toilet News & GossipNews of the recent bust of pee porn at the Canadian-American border by Canadian border morality inspectors brought to mind several thoughts. Most of those thoughts weren’t really nice, a few were of outrage and there was also one thought of extreme satisfaction.

The story as reported to Xtra is basically this: A vacationing gay couple were returning home to Canada from the U.S.. At the border, they were subjected to a search, including of their laptop computer. Lo and behold, on the laptop were some gay porn videos, including some of the gay couple in question. But what really pissed off the morality inspectors was the pee porn aka watersports porn; which theoretically isn’t illegal in Canada. The laptop was seized but the couple hasn’t been charged with anything.

Where the couple got the watersports videos isn’t clear in the article. Perhaps they got it down South; perhaps they got it on the web – while they were in Canada yet. In fact, they could have gone to a porn shop in Canada and bought similar videos without a problem as it isn’t illegal.

The problem occurred when they carried the pee porn over the border and got caught in the morality web that the Canadian morality patrol is so fond of arbitrarily erecting. Little Sister’s Bookstore used to encounter this arbitrary nonsense on a regular basis and was even in an ongoing court battle over it. After twenty-five years of butting heads with the morality border patrol, they’ve finally closed up shop (or are in the process of selling their business as last reported). They’re just one of many that have been harassed and put out of business over the years by the border morality boys.

When will this arbitrary and senseless censorship end?

I have no real answer to that question unfortunately. I do know however, that it is high time that the border boys got back to their jobs of securing us from real threats and to butt out our sex lives, viewing habits and choice of what we want to read.

I’m starting to get pissed off again, so I shall end this article with a somewhat humorous anecdote.

Many years ago, when I was in the army, my unit was on maneuvers somewhere in the mountains, somewhere in Canada, somewhere near the Canadian-US border. One afternoon, after a few coffees and bug-out drills too many, I needed to go pee rather badly. It was the first chance I had in hours.

So, there I was, in the middle of nowhere, on the side of this back road, and the first thing I do when I jump out of my jeep is not to immediately go to a defensive position, but to find a good spot to go and pee. There weren’t many options, so I just made a dash for the nearest clump of bushes, unzipped and relieved myself. Believe me, it was a relief! Well, it turns out that I wasn’t the only one feeling the urgent call of nature, as pretty darn quickly there was our entire section dumping gallons of liquid fertilizer into the wilderness. One of the guys happened to notice a marble marker over where he was taking a leak. It turns out we had all just crossed the border and were taking a pee ‘illegally’.

We all had a good laugh about that and a few of us even jumped back and forth across ‘the border’ before jumping back into our vehicles and driving off for more abuse from the ‘101st Phantasm Army’ or whoever it was we were ‘fighting’ that week.

(Author’s note: I actually kind of wish that I could remember where exactly we were that weekend because there was some great camping spots in the area.)

Anyway, that little fond memory gave me a bit of a smile after my original rant after reading about the pee porn border bust.

Yes, it’s a silly story about peeing on the border; almost as silly as border guards busting people for possessing pee porn.
