The star, 79, handcuffed herself to a shopping trolley at a Los Angeles branch of the store on Tuesday and had to be forcibly removed by security officers.

Her demonstration was prompted by the discovery that Costco had refused to sell her latest book due to x-rated jokes that are featured on the book's back cover.

Using a megaphone to attack the store for censoring her, accoridng to TMZ she said: "Costco should not be like Nazi Germany. Next thing they'll be burning the Bible."
