thanks for your action, but i made a mistake in the translation. 

The artist (Pissier) has been noticed by the postoffices because of sending out  so-called "obscene" postcards.

 But i guess we all received some mailings  like this in the old days of mail-art (some mail-artshows have erotic themes, why not) . 

Most of these mail-artists are no perverts or sexists or sadists but just playing with the imagination but censorship

probably only hits individuals and no corporate companies (see the sado maso advertising  of  YSL and "Hard Candy" of Madonna.)

When you see the billboards of lingerie in Europe you would not think this is possible.

but yes.

Merci encore
