Well, that explains it. Our society has this odd, cultural fetish with children. Anything that puts a dent in child safety, self esteem, or might somehow shatter their virgin ears is stringently frowned upon.

So no, i'm not surprised about Kinder Eggs. (frankly, i never heard of them before).

Prostitution is legal but the prostitutes must pay taxes like any other business.
First of all, the first citation is wrong, it's actually technically still illegal though it simply isn't enforced.
Second, what the heck, what's so dumb about these laws?

So I wouldn't say this is a really trustworthy source
