Tennessee Outlaws Transmission Of Emotionally Distressing Images

Wait... wouldn't this law make any mention of Tennessee illegal on any computer in Tennessee ? Or anything to do with most of the err, progressive ideas ? That seem to be coming out of the south recently ? Oh right backwards... Yea.
Hmmm, well this is one of the problems with the USA actually. We wind up with a lot of old people who just don't understand current technology and the associated issues involving it to create and pass meaningful laws, and those that DO have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish wind up getting their efforts derailed by the agendas of others. While the age requirements to hold office aren't all *that* strict, a lot of things conspire to ensure that the current generation is rarely one one actually running things, and it currently doesn't help much that we have the Baby Boomers living so long, which means they basically got to hold office over TWO generations since "Generation X" (my generation) has been skipped over more or less.
At any rate, I think this law is a backlash due to all of the "shock" material floating around out there in general, and an older generation that just isn't used to it. The law is not only unconstitutional, but also unenforcable, but I think that's in part because the people in charge really have no idea what they are dealing with in this case, it's very similar to a lot of other attempts I've seen to regulate The Internet... from all over the world.

In completely unrelated news, the state seal of Tennessee has been found to cause me extreme mental and emotional distress. Get that crap off the Internet or face jail time!
Theoretically, can't this be used to outlaw any/all violent video games that allow online multiplayer?
I'm not sure how state-law works in the US, but would it be possible for someone from Tennessee to go to an Internet Café in a bordering state and send all kinds of emotionally distressing images to whichever idiot thought up this law and it being perfectly legal?
The scary part is that I recently hit the red button... and all I see is Justin Bieber x_xScrumpmonkey said:In other news, Tenessee bans other parts of the world from looking at the sky. Does... does tenessee get how the WORLD WIDE web works? obviously not.
Now I get to see a giant picture of him... *hides*
*puts his index and middle finger to his forehead* Wait a moment...I'm...getting a vision...yes yes, it's a very clear one. I see...mounds and mounds of goatse and every horrid iteration of rule 34 being swiftly spammed to the Tennessee senate's various inboxes. And...oh...oh god...I hear the cry of thousands of angry channers rallying behind the cause for lulz to meet this challenge for internet depravity.
God help us all...
God help us all...
Know what I'm offended of Tennessee? Stupid-ass laws like this. So therefore, it is illegal for you to show the law to anyone, making it impossible to enforce, and therefore you must end this.
I mean, come on. I know there isn't jack shit to do in Tennessee, but can't you find something more important to do instead of just banning people from saying "gay" and "homosexual" and banning anything that might be offensive to some dude who just wouldn't care in the long run?
