Foreign Minister has ordered the destruction of the entire print run of a foul-mouthed Chopin comic book meant for German kids. What is your view of this?

Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski has ordered the withdrawal of a risqué comic on Polish culture created by Poland’s Embassy in Berlin, which was meant to be “accessible” to modern-day kids but turned out to be simply vulgar and “inappropriate”.

The comic, designed to promote Polish culture amongst German schoolchildren, includes a tale in which a modern-day Chopin goes to give a concert in a prison with his skinhead chum.

Looks like a try to teach polish culture for kids in kid slang. There is nothing wrong with that.

Hmm...sounds abit like state censorship...

The comic, however, has already found its way onto Poland’s most popular auction site, Allegro. (nh/pg)

So much for censorship in our time....
