Loath these Laws
Japanese lawmakers can jail a citizen whose waistline goes beyond 35.4 inches.
Posted on by

A new law in Japan can jail people when their waistline went above 33.5 inches for males and 35.4 inches for females. Although the intent was good – aiming for a fitter and healthier race, its passing into a law is still bizarre.

 

In accordance to that, I listed a few of world’s laws that are strangely appearing:

 

House of Parliament, England, ridiculous funny law in england, tourist spot in England, UK, tourism in England, Traveling in Europe

You don’t die in the House of Parliament in England. Sorry, it’s the law.

 

Homosexuals in Singapore, law restriction in singapore, gay people are not allowed in Singapore, gay commercial ad

However, if you are a homosexual living in Singapore, you are not allowed to live.

 

Guy Skirt, law against men wearing girl's clothes, forbidden to wear skirts for men in Italy

No worries homosexuals in Italy, you may live. But you can’t wear a skirt.

 

I See These Whales, the forbidden whale seeing, law in England about whales, whale seeing, jumping whale out of the water, giant blue whale

If you find a whale on the British coast, good for you! But you only get to keep the body. The Royal Prerogative 1324 gives rights to the royal family – a dead whale’s head belongs to the King while the tail for the Queen!

 

A Bear in a Beach, bears forbidden in Israel beach, Polar bears, endangered polar bear, polar bear in water, cute animals

Talking of animal-human interaction laws, bringing bears in any beach of Israel is forbidden.

 

A Forbidden Kiss in european train, romantic kissing in the escalator, us against the world, couple in the train, France law

Hold on! You can’t kiss there. French and English train stations forbid kissing.

 

Starting-A-Car Frustration, law against anger in driving, woman's car problems, car repair hassle, shiny red car

Well, in Denmark you can kiss. But before you start your car, you have to check your lights, brakes, steering, and then honk your car.

 

Flush It, toilet flushing law forbidden, Quiet the Toilet, law forbidden toilet flushing, restroom design, clean toilet, white toilet, convenient toilet in public

Not flushing a toilet in Singapore costs $100, so always double check! On the contrary, it is illegal to flush your toilet after 10 PM in Switzerland.

 

Dare Defy My Majic Wand? law forbidden use of magic, witchcraft painting, making a potion, witch's and wizard's wand, brewing chemicals, sorcery

Pretending to know witchcraft or any sort will imprison you in Ireland.

 

Chinese Graduates, law of chinese government, chinese reading books and magazines, Chinese intelligence, Chinese schools, college and universities

So you want to go to college. But there’s one rule – you have to be intelligent. Yup, no room for dumb college students in China.

 

As Long as You're in Underwear, You're Good, models in underwear in mall, male model underwear, wearing underwear is required by law, naked outside

You can’t leave your house without underwear. That’s how much they love underwear in Thailand.

 

Shut Your Mouth, law against speaking, shouting in the woods, echo, scream when no one is around and nobody can hear, release, catharsis

Shit! I can’t shout offensive words in the Mexican public.

 

Video games are banned, Video games not allowed in Greece, PlayStation Xbox and nintendo banned in greece, red vs black color of controller dualshock

Electronic games are banned in Greece.

 

Gun and Horse in Action, prisoners free in law, cool poster, cowboy in a hat and horse pointing a gun

Oh Canada! It is mandated for ex-prisoners to be given a handgun, bullets, and horse. Apparently, you need these things just to get out of town.

 

Jump Shot of Prisoner Escapees, happy to escape prison, wanted pictures, men in prison, inmates, law allows escape of prisoners, watching the inmates, guards

In Denmark, you don’t wait to be an ex-prisoner, for it is legal to escape. It is however illegal to get caught. The penalty: you finish your term in prison.

 

Ashtray is Deadly according to law, dirty ashtray, dangerous ashtray, old ashtray

So what will keep you in prison? An ashtray. Turned out it is a deadly weapon for French lawmakers.

 

Which law is the most ridiculous?

    Well…that whole no flushing after 10 pm thing is bad news for people whose food disagreed with them on vacation. And the idea of kissing being illegal in train stations in England and France is ridiculous! Kissing in those locations sounds utterly romantic.
