Only in Amerika…

Some Republican nutjobs in North Carolina are about to make a woman baring her tits in public a crime that carries up to six months in jail.

No, wait, I’m wrong! It doesn’t even have to be the entire breast, just a portion of the areola will do. Apparently this noble goal is being achieved by a redefining of “private parts” to include the aforementioned small, brownish circle. Here’s a clue as to the puritan zeal driving this idiotic violation of attractive young women’s right to give us all a cheap thrill – some types of exposure are more offensive than others, but the worst is this one…

“for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire,”

Never ceases to amaze me how the world’s largest producer of pornography can simultaneously be so prudish, but I guess it’s all part of the charming mosaic that makes America the world’s most fascinating train wreck.

No doubt this latest government dictate on what people can do with their bodies will be sold as part of the mythical conflict commonly referred to as The War on Women, but as North Carolina is a state in which assaulting a woman carries a higher penalty than assaulting a mere male, any feminists screaming misogyny can go and get stuffed.
