15 Things You Won't Believe Have Been Banned Around The World

14. Haggis Is Banned In America

Poor Haggis. Like a patron being ejected due to too much absinthe, the US Government tossed the traditional Scottish dish back across the pond with a resounding yell of "...and stay out!" The ban on Haggis came about in 1971 when the United States Department of Food and Agriculture decided there was something unpleasant about a dish made of minced organ meat from a sheep. Recently, outcries of Scottish Americans claiming that having no haggis for their traditional holidays is akin to having no turkey on Thanksgiving caused the ban to be reconsidered and after much deliberation the answer came back still the same: Sheep's lungs in food is gross and not allowed. In other news, the Department of Food and Agriculture stated they continue to have no problem with Taco Bell's use of wholly ground rats for the meat in their chalupas.

13. Many Common Names Are Banned In Denmark

Sure, we understand world governments feeling the need to stop morons from naming their kids things like Aquafresh and Starchild, thus saving children from a lifetime of schoolyard bullying. That being said, Denmark's rules on baby names are far more controlling than most. When a new baby Danish is born the parents have a set list of 7000 approved names to choose from. Any name not on the list has to first be approved by their church before being approved by the government. Last names as first names, different spellings like Kris for Chris, and all gender-benders are - without consideration - banned. Come on Denmark, if I want to name my kid Ranger Bonesaw or Fightmaster Deathlord what's it to you?
