Okay, I found this ridiculous so I just had to post it. This is not made up.

"Mississippi Outlaws Sex Toys
Dan Abrams

There is a landmark legal battle of constitutional proportions being fought down in Mississippi. It involves fundamental rights protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments, not to mention the rights of certain small business owners to satisfy their customers. This week, another court refused to recognize Mississippians’ right to find companionship for $29.99 and so a law outlawing the sale of sex toys will stand.

“A person commits the offense of distributing unlawful sexual devices when he knowingly sells, advertises, publishes or exhibits to any person any three-dimensional device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs or offers to do so or possesses such devices with the intent to do so.”

This was linked on the Beaver football board, and The Beaver Tail Whap® brought the following nuggets to the table:

"In Mississippi, people can buy guns at a gun show with no background check and certain weapons can be carried almost anywhere."
- They are obviously much safer than a sex toy.

"It’s illegal in Mississippi to have sex with someone you’re not married to or to live with someone other than your spouse."
- That's fucked up. How can they make a law about who you have sex with? I thought this was America???

"Georgia and Texas have passed similar bans and courts have repeatedly ruled the legislators have the power to do it."
- Really? I thought it would have been Massachusetts or Oregon.

Anywho, this is why I hate the South. They are stupid and stuck in the 1800s (and produce people like George W. Bush). This is all.
