Post by: Dakota Bob on April 20, 2014, 07:09:06 am
Come to Finland, 'cos gay marriage ain't legal yet but apparently we can still get away with this:

Seriously, look at these fucking stamps (http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/04/14/finland_s_graphic_gay_bondage_stamps_are_amazing.html)

I think askold posted these a while ago.

Anyway, nicely done, Finland.

Nice butt, Tom Of Finland drawing figure.

I never cared for the constant porn-staches but guy-on-guy is hot. ;)

(But they were mostly drawn when porn-staches were all the rage, I'll let that slide)

Gotta love the meaty, apricot-like cuteness of guy-butts.

Anyone else thinking of the IRL trolling possibilities of anti-gay groups/individuals these beauties would offer?

For added bonus, I saw this comic when it was reposted by a Finnish politician:
(click to show/hide)

There is already a petition against the comics, but the really fun part is that even when they are claiming that these stamps shouldn't be allowed because Tom wasn't culturally significant they are admitting his significance and status as an artist:

Quote
We, the signed, demand that Itella won't publish the planned homoerotic stamp set. Itella plans to publish a stamp to honour artist and gay icon Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991). The sexual orientation of the men in the images don't leave room for any interpretation.

(The translation was made by a Finnish blogger and her english has some room for improvement like she said herself but you get the point.)


Also, the "The sexual orientation of the men in the images don't leave room for any interpretation." part is just silly. I guess these people would also complain about Batman and Robin having an unhealthy relationship.

I hope you guys are happy now.

The online services for our postal office are down because everyone wanted to pre-order Tom of Finland stamps.

And I do mean EVERYONE. The post office is getting phonecalls and emails from all over the world. Mostly from USA but the people of Britain and India are also showing interest in stamps with bare asses.

They are thinking of printing a second edition even before the first one is on sale because if the pre-orders keep coming like this there won't be any stamps left to be taken to store...
