Strict ParentsI always thought my parents were quite strict, but I can't think of anything they actually banned me from doing, whereas a good friend was under no circumstances allowed to watch ITV because of the adverts.
This week's Time Out mentions some poor sod who was banned from sitting in the aisle seats at cinemas because, according to their mother, "drug dealers patrol the aisles, injecting people in the arm."
What were you banned from doing as a kid by loopy parents?

My girlfriends parentsShe's 18, and has to ask permission to come over to my place. When she does, her parents turn up at 11 sharp to pick her up. When she's allowed to stay over, she has to bring a sleeping bag (parents clearly very naive then), and phone home first thing next morning. They went ape the first time I took her to a casino, and I had the 'very protective dad' speech before we were even dating.
Advantages: I found, and broke, the worlds last remaining 18 year old hymen.
My own parents were ace - left me entirely to fend for myself, with the proviso "you know the consequences of {teenage escapade} - if you still choose to do it and it all goes tits up, you're on your own." Worked for me.
