'nuff said.
'Murica is becoming a nation of pansies and butthurt wusses.

Rofl... if US government continues down this road, they're going to beat North Korea in censorship.

Also, what if I use GIMP? Will that be legal?

Hopefully he'll sleep on it and come to the realization that acting like a five year is not the way to handle it.

Grow up, Earnest Smith. Shit like this dose not look good come reelection time.

 

[COLGeek]

Good luck enforcing that....

@Soda-88 - Fortunately this is isolated to the bible thumping, backwards thinking state of Georgia.

What's next? Downloading porn illegal?

 

[Shin-san]

I would lean towards supporting something like this, but seeing how the political world is, one of those guys might be very quick to define "vulgar" in very broad terms

They would have a better chance at passing something like this if they instead targeted the sexualized photoshopping of minors that goes on in the Porn advertisement industry.

Shame legislators on the whole are too stupid to even spin issues correctly anymore.

Yeh as said above good luck enforcing that one or getting any cop to arrest for such a thing, I think they have better things to do you morons! None of you trying to bring this bill up probably have never used or seen photoshop or barely turn on a computer. Tired of Washington bs!

Parody and Satire are protected.

When laws are passed to protect "leaders" from being lampooned, you know people are only paying lip service to believing in freedom and liberty.

The US Constitution doesn't protect one from being insulted. If it did, there would be no Carlin's, Pryor's, or O'neal's. People couldn't say incredibly stupid things and be ridiculed for it. What kind of pansy world would we be living in then? Keep your "plain yogurt is fine for me" attitude where it belongs. You.

 

[-Fran-]

SFW PORN FOR EVERYONE!

But 'shopped with important peoples faces, of course.

Cheers!

So if the bill passed, everyone would just start using a different program to do the same job. You have to love this old man's deep well of knowledge for technology.

 

[alevox]

Funny but I don't think there is anywhere in the First Amendment that says people have a right to free speech, except when they are being 'vulgar'.

Is this what American tax payers are paying for? To have idiot politicians attempt to legislate things that would be struck down by the courts as being unconstitutional the moment anyone tries to enforce it?

Sounds like a job for Fatherland, er, uh, Homeland Security
Wow, better tear up my collection of political cartoons before I get categorized as a terrorist...

 

[nonoitall]

Yet another example of the Streisand effect in action.

 

[freggo]

Mr. Smith wants to go to Washington and have his 5 minutes of fame when all he prob. was unhappy about was the fact that the porn start's 'member' was not big enough to make him look good

 

[ibjeepr]

Great, because we need a more clogged up legal system full of "criminals" committing largely un-enforceable laws.

Besides, if he really thought he had a case, he would have already lawyer'd up and filed a slander suit.

People thumbed your comment down, I thumbed it up to counter the RepubliConservadouche who did it.

 

[nvpatriot]

I thumbed it down to counter a liberal obama-loving asshat like Madjimms who thumbed it up.

 

[nvpatriot]

I thumbed it down to counteract liberal asshats that will automatically assume anyone who disagrees with a baseless statement such as "bible-thumping Georgia" is a republican.
