Tenn. law bans posting images that "cause emotional distress"
Not certain how they're going to handle this. If I post an image of Mohammad kneeling before a crucifix, what that cause emotional distress?
A picture of Buddy Christ?
Abortion Pictures? |

This just in. New genetic mutations have resulted in a population of humans born without a spine. |

Fortunately this one is quite adaptable ... ;-)
************************************************
The medical school director was giving a tour of the new research hospital to some prospective donors.
"Our transplant facility is simply the most advanced in the world," he explained. "In fact -- now this isn't for the public to know quite yet -- but for the past few years we've had a DARPA grant to perfect brain transplants, and it's been so successful we're about to commercialize the process."
"Brain transplants!" snorted one of the businessmen, "What kind of hooey is that? Even if you could do it, it would cost a fortune."
"Not at all," replied the director, "many quality brains are available quite reasonably. Here, come and see," as he led them into a narrow room set with viewing windows along one wall.
"That one on the left is from a promising high school student who aced the SATs, but was killed by a ricochet while shielding classmates during a shooting incident at school, that one's only $10,000.
"The one in the center is from a respected surgeon, who had a heart attack on the golf course after he aced the Par 3 fifth hole at his country club; that one will run you $50,000."
What about that one on the right?" asked another of the visitors.
"Oh, well, I admit that one is a bit steep -- it would cost you $500,000."
"Why so much more than the others?"
"Well, you have to understand ... that brain came from a politician -- it hasn't been used at all." |

Some people need to grow a spine and thicker skin.
Everyone at anytime can claim something is offensive.
Can't wait to see a politician from Tennessee post something on his or her site, youtube, facebook, or twitter that some will find offensive. How are they going to handle that?

Will they be charging Rep. Anthony Weiner (or his wiener) under the new law?
Or is only Tennessee residents that are under the Big Eye?
Shouldn't CNN and all the new stations who have shown "offensive" images be liable also?
Its all nice and legal now... GET IN THE VAN!! |

It is a misguided, poorly worded, unconstitutional anti-cyberbullying/harassment attempt, not really a Big Brother sort of thing. Of course it will take one "test" case before it is proven unconstitutional, but I'm certainly not going to overreact and take down all my online images because I'm afraid I might cause "emotional distress" "without legitimate purpose". We have some real idiots doing legislating here in Tennessee, but the same can be said for every state in the union and the federal government.
