				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You never know what can happen in a year. It&#8217;s December and 2011 is slowly coming to a close as we get closer and closer to the holidays. So for something fun, let&#8217;s take a look back and see what people have been banning all around the world:</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Baby Photos:</span> Elton John and his long time partner, David Furnish posed for a picture with their new baby on the cover of Us magazine. But not everyone agreed it was an okay thing to do. A store in Arkansas put up the &#8220;family shield&#8221; over the magazine, the same way they put it up over other magazines that aren&#8217;t family friendly.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Service Dogs:</span> A twelve-year-old boy with epilepsy was banned from going to school with the service dog that was specifically trained to save his life in the event he had a seizure.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Burqas:</span> France arrested or fined at least 60 women wearing the traditional Muslim head-to-toe cloth covering while they tried to show their religious afflilation</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Brown Bag Lunches:</span> A public school in Chicago banned homemade lunches, stating that a schoo lunch was healthier.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Baggy Pants:</span> Many schools across the nation banned baggy pants, or any pants that hung low enough to show too much skin or the wearer&#8217;s underwear. Some of these schools suspended students for wearing this style.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Babies named Lucifer:</span> New Zealand bans the naming of children with this name because of its satanic association.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Teens Dying their hair:</span> In Florida, teens are no longer allowed to dye their hair wild colors or cake on the makeup for fear that it will distract students in the classroom.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Airbrushing:</span> British Advertising Standard Authority banned ads where the models were airbrushed too much.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Happy Couples:</span> Interracial couples are banned from community church.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Skinny Jeans: <span style="color: #000000">College students are being turned away from exams because their pant are too tight.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #800000">Saying &#8220;bless you&#8221;:</span> A teacher is fed up with the common courtesy of what is said after a sneeze.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">Having Eyes: <span style="color: #000000">Women in Saudi Arabia who have suggestive eyes, meaning eyes that have a &#8220;nice shape&#8221;.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">France bans ketchup: <span style="color: #000000">France wants its students to have a healthier diet.</span></span></p>
