Tennessee Outlaws Transmission Of Emotionally Distressing Images

I googled goatse, and got to find out what it was without actually having to see it.

Thank God I didn't have to see it.
Internet. You sicken me.....but I just can't quit you.

Oh right. The topic. Its a dumb law, and I doubt it will ever be properly enforced.
At most some people will pretend to be offended at images they get sent to get money.

(please don't Google that term).

I did try but looking the term up on Google became inevitable as soon as you mentioned it.

I found it and wish I didn't

Reminds me of how I spent nearly 10 minutes trying to figure out what tubgirl was.... Then realizing it.

*sigh* Once again politicians in my state are making poorly defined laws to pander to their bases of (and I'm choking when I write this) "conservatives".[\i] The more times laws like this get passed, the more I think Republicans are lead by closet Nazis who pretend to be conservative.

Hopefully, someone will get charged, appeal it to the supreme court, and this law will get overturned.

I was hoping that too, but sadly most people here in TN are too poor/busy/ignorant to fight that fight. There are quite a few laws here that should go to the Supreme Court: There is seriously a tax evasion law that bans residents near the state borders from buying cheaper cigerettes in neighboring states and it has yet to be challenged (See Interstate Commerce clause in the Constitution), but has been heartily enforced.

But it could be worse. A recent anti-immigration bill that failed called for school teachers to demand proof of citizenship from their students. (And an even tougher bill DID pass in Georgia.)
