In a humorous advertisement for a chain of sports-shoe shops, a young woman tries out various different sneakers with which to punish her boyfriend across the seat of his boxers. Part of our "Spank while you sell" feature on CP imagery in advertising.

Canada: TV news item (2007) about a local school board offering parents lessons in how to spank their children.United States: Yet another TV news report (2006) featuring a mother unhappy about her son's paddling at school, even though she had given permission for it. United States: TV news report (Feb 2015) about an (unsuccessful) attempt to abolish school paddling in Tennessee. United States: TV news report, July 2012: A school district in Tennessee decides that parents will be assumed to consent to CP unless they state to the contrary in writing (instead of the other way round). I realized all this over the course of a few “lashes” and then…I did my best acting and carried on like she was killing me with the thing, all the while almost gleeful inside that she was using “the belt” instead of her sandal. Three versions of a scene from one of the St Johns schools of Canada, part of our series on "Top CP Schools".

A jocular birthday paddling in a classroom, date and location unknown. The implement used might be the school's real paddle. Protracted flogging by local mullahs of a teenage girl for running away from a forced marriage, 2010. Up until this point in A Serbian Film, the most violent thing retired adult film star Milos (Srđan Todorović) has been forced to do is punch a woman in the face. In another movie, that would be totally reprehensible, but what comes next rewrites the standards . From the very first visit to the Girl’s Grammer School, it was made clear that corporal punishment was used. After a tour of the school looking at laboratories, home economic rooms and such like, the new girls were sat, with their Mums. At the end of the ‘Inroductory Speech’ by the Headmistress. It was made perfectly clear that corporal punishment was used to keep any naughty girl in line, and that parents had to sign a consent form to say that they agreed with the school’s Disciplinary Code of Conduct. This caused a mumbling stir in the Assembly Hall and the loins of many girls, as Mummy’s turned to whisper to their child. Drive, the best film of 2011, delivers its most memorable deathblow rather sweetly. Throughout the film, Ryan Gosling's nameless character, simply known as The Driver, develops a loving bond with his pixie-cute neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan), and their passionate smooch in the elevator is the culmination of endless, silent flirtations.Mummy looked into the mirror, at this distance it was like a well framed photo, her on the bed, her shapely daughter with her upturned rump fine and round, catching the light. She looked at herself, doing what a good loving Mummy should do…her duty. This starts to crumble, however, when Dad brings an outsider to the family's compound to sleep with the son. The world begins to intrude, and the parents find themselves out of control of their kids. Two recruits receive a more severe and formal caning. This is a real punishment, not a token ceremony. Members of a commando unit in the Malaysian army get an unofficial on-the-spot caning in front of their comrades. Harmony Korine loves spectacle, placing him squarely in the tradition of folks like Jodorowsky and Waters. This moment from Julien Donkey-Boy, his second feature as director, brings to mind the asshole performance in Pink Flamingos. You don't feel like you're watching a movie; no, you're ringside at a terrible carnival.
