Sorry, folks, but Donald, nor any other Disney characters were banned or almost banned in Finlad because of the 'No Pants' issue. The story stems from a Finnish politician's attempt to ban free comics (Disney's were among them) for a government-sponsored reading program. I have this from someone in Finland who was very surprised to hear about the "banishment." There MAY have been a problem during WWII, but if so, it was political, not moral.
Thsi 'fact' is another Trivia WebSite staple. Don't use Trivia WebSites; they're not good sources.

Thanks, Pace, for the reference. Snopes.com is great for checking out things like this. In time, the 'Pool will be THE site for doing so
