Cupid and Psyche
by François Gérard, 1798
in the Louvre, Paris.
Yesterday, Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA) officers patrolling the Hong Kong Book Fair issued an "advice" that a book -- Love Mythology -- be withdrawn. Why? The book's cover (above) made the TELA officers uncomfortable.
Soon after Chinese-language newspaper reporters got hold of the story, however, TELA withdrew its advice
Meanwhile, after a complaint to TELA which was then passed on to Hong Kong's Obscene Articles Tribunal, Oiwan Lam is being legally pursued for publishing a photo on her website.
Now, Oiwan Lam has a self-introduction and case briefing: interlocals
Not sure about the clarion call Free Oiwan Lam! As of this writing, Lam is free. That said, it is not a pleasant experience having a legal cloud of unknowing cast a major shadow over one's life.
Other than that, Mister Bijou is also reminded of one graffiti of the Free (fill in the blank)! variety which used to grace the wall of building in Crouch End, London, in the 1970s where one wag had added: with every packet of cornflakes!
Isn't it odd what one remembers?
