Isn't Finland the one that didn't allow to show daffy duck on TV cause he had no pants on?
No, this isn't true. In the late '60s there was some discussion whether it was appropriate to present a pantless character for children, though. And it was about Donald Duck, not Daffy.

As we know, the late '60s was the time of sexual liberation, and those opposing this trend occasionally went too far in their demands. This was a prime example.

EDIT: Ah, it was in 1977, not in the '60s. Anyhow, here's more info on the matter: http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/finland.htm
