NOTE: Yes, it’s true - the Toronto Sun has reported that non-Canadian women wishing to enter Canada to work as nude dancers must submit nude photos of themselves to qualify for a visa. A report in the Toronto Sun explains that the poor visa officials are having to pore over hundreds of pictures of nude exotic dancers. Such a tragedy.

As one Canadian official put it: If they don’t have pictures in the nude, they are not going to wiggle their bottoms in Canada.
