Its pretty much the same attitude Belgium is starting to have about it's royal family.Back in July El Jueves published a cartoon of Crown Prince Felipe having sex with his wife princess Letizia.
Felipe says, "Have you thought about it, if you get pregnant, this will be the first time in my life I do something that resembles real work?"
Spanish law states that you mustn't insult their Royal Family. If you do you could end up in clink for two years. You wouldn't think there could be such censorship in this day and age - well at least in western Europe.
The funniest thing is, however, that because they banned the cartoon from el jueves, which only has a readership of 80,000, it was instead seen by millions, on the Internet.
