BDSM pornstar Derek da Silva's film Shock Treatment was recently banned by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), along with Raging Stallion's Piss Off and a handful of other films the government deems to be "obscene."  

Shock Treatment shows da Silva getting zapped and fucked. CBSA has strict "obscenity" policies that prohibit any videos that show sex with pain, even if it's consensual. Read more about electro sex play, in Xtra West's Ask the Expert column.

Da Silva's website says he "has made a career of pushing the edges of gay video so as to more accurately represent the diversity of play found in the BDSM and Sex Fight communities."

As we've seen many times this year, Canada's border agency has targeted gay films, whether they're PG-rated or pornographic.  

Well, just in time for the holidays, da Silva has released a Christmas video message on YouTube:

"This is the crank generator that was used on my nuts -- actually shocked my nuts -- in the Titan Rough DVD Shock Treatment," he says. "And this is my Christmas tree. Let's see if we can light it up."

Watch it:

"Have a safe Christmas and a very kinky new year!"

While it's completely obvious to the gay community that the border is where civil liberties go to die, it appears that the sentiment is spreading. We've always been trend-setters, haven't we?

Border cops keep us from getting shipments of books (even comic books), delay gay films at the border, and they took this nice gay couple's laptop. Meanies.

Less than a month after the mainstream press lost its shit (rightfully) over our treatment of Amy Goodman, the tables have turned. Canadian writer Peter Watts claims he was mistreated at the border and that -- does this sound familiar? -- his laptop and notes were seized. 

Comparing it to the Goodman story, the twist here is that the roles are reversed: Amy is an American writer, Peter is Canadian. Amy was hassled by our gaurds, Peter by theirs.

According to reports, Peter had his "computer seized, flash drive confiscated, even my fucking paper notepad withheld until they could find someone among their number literate enough to distinguish between handwritten notes on story ideas and, I suppose, nefarious terrorist plots."

Zing!
