Holy crapski!
No kidding...that just plain scares me. How in THE Hell are those regs to be enforced? Exactly what do the words 'appropriate', 'obscene', 'vulgar', 'revealing' and 'disrupt' mean, legally? Have they been given specific, measurable and objective standards, or just the "I don't know how to define obscenity, but I know it when I see it" logic?
I mean this in all honesty when I say that I find that sign, and the idea behind it, entirely vulgar, inappropriate and obscene. The presence of that sign would actively disrupt my ability to peacefully enjoy myself. Think I can hold the city government culpable, and have them all arrested?
I don't mean to suggest that it's OK to go running down the street screaming adult words at the top of your lungs, but this kind of legislation should frighten the snot out of any real American.
"I may not like what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
What has happened to Old Virginia, anyway?
Hell will have to freeze over solid before I'll accept anyone telling me what I can and cannot say.
Morality Police. Excellent concept.
Anybody from VA Beach coming to visit NYC better grow some bark on 'em, or they WILL go home all a-twitter.
EDIT: I just realized that they've gone and outlawed pretty girls in bikinis. Sounds like paradise.
