Pawn Wars

Incredibly, the Icelandic parliament has passed one of the harshest anti-pawn laws in the world.

The maximum penalty for getting caught with your trousers down is three years in prison. Pretty tough I reckon. Especially compared to most other countries where your wife just gives you the cold shoulder for a few days.

In addition, the fines are absolutely massive, and run into the billions of rupiah.

But what actually constitutes pawn? And what are the fines for each viewing offense?

Well here are the fine details courtesy of the Icelandic ministry of dysinformation:
