News: Printer Refuses to Print Yaoi Press Coloring Book

Via ICv2.com. On demand printer Docucopies has refused to print copies of The Yaoi Coloring Book citing nudity. A very vague email sent by a customer service agent explains.

"There are a number of pages that I find disturbing and do not want to put our employee’s in the same position (by) printing this book for you.”

Long time yaoi and ero readers may remember a similar incident years ago when Brenner began refusing to print books with adult content. So while extremely frustrating, these things happen.

It makes one wonder if establishing a print house for the sole purpose of printing explicit and adult content might not be a bad idea for some aspiring entrepreneur.

Having a printer that specializes in extreme material sounds nice at first blush, but if I were an ambitous politician, I'd know where to start looking for easy prosecutions. After a few bunk charges, fighting off court cases may diminish one's abilities to actually PRINT stuff. (~_^)

I'd love to start a buisness that printed yaoi comics..I'm just wondering how lucrative it would be. I actualy read this on yaoipress. Homophobia alert! D:

I bet that business might still reject the Yaoi Press coloring book because it's not adult *enough* (like "coloring books? that's a format for kids!" and "early-teen main characters? we prefer *adult* content!").
