In the 1950s, British cops raided shops in beach resort towns and confiscated postcards they claimed were obscene. Now, those postcards have finally been released, and they're... mild. They're sex joke cartoons on the level of, say, Playboy, maybe even milder. It's amazing to realize that a "little willy" double-entendre that wouldn't even titillate a 10-year-old in 2011 was, a little more than 50 years ago, a matter for the police.
