And just because Will Ferrell doesn't have boobs, that doesn't mean the Iranian government wants to see him naked -- in Iran's version of Talladega Nights, a fence grows 3 feet in order to cover Ferrell's bare chest.

The censors were also offended by a scene in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds where Bridget von Hammersmark has a bloody bullet wound in her leg ... specifically, because said leg was uncovered. That's nothing some leggings can's solve, though.

Those leggings make it look like a real different injury.

When women aren't being half covered by random foreground items (no doubt making some digital animator work for hundreds of hours to hide breasts that some Hollywood digital animator spent hundreds of hours digitally enhancing), they can be removed entirely from a scene. Like Kevin Spacey's friend here:

"The dumbest trick they ever pulled was trying to convince viewers my female co-star didn't exist.
And like that, poof, she's gone."

Meanwhile, Patrick Wilson's girlfriend is erased from his shot, leaving him with his arm suspended in the air like some douchebag.

"Just dub some line about him being really into air piano."

In addition to the digital touch-ups, the dialogue in these films is also modified in the dubbing: References to beer become lemonade, and risque sexual dialogue turns into far less risque proposals of marriage. The movie Basic Instinct contains no fewer than 270 marriage proposals, probably.

The diagrams show women in common situations, like sitting on the subway or standing on some escalators, and being ogled by weirdos. Lines show the peeping tom's field of vision, giving instructions on how to calculate it based on his height, the height of the woman, the distance between them, and other factors. Like if the guy is sliding back in his seat and manga expression lines are coming out of his head.

"Looks normal to me, but better check the chart just in case."

The idea, as far as we can tell, was that women could whip out the chart if they thought the guy sitting in front of them looked sketchy, quickly calculate the variables in their mind to figure out if they were being spied on, and then use this evidence to ... do nothing, because if the police put out this thing, they clearly weren't too interested in actually going out and arresting the perverts.

Tell us the artist didn't masturbate the entire time he was making this.

The whole thing was sparked when the police received a photo of a man putting his camera under a woman's skirt on a bus, a situation that observant readers will notice is covered nowhere in these diagrams. Other helpful tips included wearing leggings under a skirt, carrying a grocery cart behind you at all times, and, judging by the following picture, just avoiding stairwells altogether.

That close-up on the floor shows where his bodily fluids landed.

In the end, the diagrams seemed to cause more confusion than help and were removed from the police website. As some women pointed out, the diagrams were more likely to be used as some sort of guide for would-be peeping toms who were having trouble getting the angles quite right. After all, the cops admit that they found these images on the Internet -- in all likelihood they were created for that purpose in the first place.

"And this 4chan site looked so trustworthy."

Most bathing machines were also staffed by what was known as a "dipper," a big, burly woman who would go out with the machine and help push the particularly incompetent/lazy bathers into the water. If more than one lady was present (the machines could hold as many as six), we're assuming the dippers would also be in charge of playfully splashing each other while giggling merrily.

"You didn't tell me the water was cold. Slap yourselves, I cannot be bothered."

The earliest records of these bathing machines in England date back to the 1700s, and they remained in use until the late 19th century, when people worked out that, even without a small hut in the way, they still couldn't see much of a woman's form beneath those old-fashioned bathing suits. They started disappearing in the early 1900s, after too many beachgoers confused them for poorly equipped public toilets.

Of course, there are still places in the world where the sight of a woman's exposed elbow on a beach could spark a riot, such as the Islamic nations where women have to wear burqas. However, a designer from Australia came up with a more practical solution for them -- the burkini, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Play this for full effect.

Not all situations can be handled with such dignity when you're forced to cover your entire body, though ...

Buying underwear can be embarrassing for anyone -- how do you tactfully explain to the clerk at the other side of the counter that you need some extra room in the front of your briefs ... you know, on account of your third testicle? Well, if you've ever felt uncomfortable in one of those situations, you should be thankful you're not a woman trying to buy panties in Saudi Arabia.

You see, up until recently, only Saudi men could work at lingerie stores. Pair that with the fact that women in the kingdom are supposed to wear clothes specifically designed to not reveal anything about their bodies, and that to most of them even talking about said bodies is taboo, and you can see how that could get awkward.

"Judging by your eyebrows and lash length, I'm going to say you're a B cup."

This meant that, if a woman went in to purchase some new knickers, a male clerk would have to study her from across the room and just sort of guess which size would best suit her. If he got it wrong, tough shit: Many times, women would simply go home with the wrong underwear because they'd be too embarrassed to describe their anatomy to a man.

And they probably couldn't do it without breaking a dozen laws anyway.

This is the result of Saudi Arabia's strict segregation rules, which dictate that women can't work at certain jobs, a fact that we're sure is completely unrelated to their alarming 30 percent female unemployment rate. And if the Saudis say you can't do something, you can't do it -- they have an infamously tough religious police that will let schoolgirls burn to death if they're not properly dressed.

The current king of Saudi Arabia finally put an end to this ridiculousness in 2012, thanks to a Facebook campaign, of all things (one of those actually worked?). The royal decree turned things completely around by banning all men from working in lingerie shops in any capacity ... which resulted in the closing of 100 stores.
