Tennessee Just Made Offensive Online Pictures Illegal

Goatse. Tub Girl. Lemonparty. They're in the internet pantheon—and sharing them (or anything else that might shock or offend) will now land you in Tennessean jail, thanks to dubious new law of theirs. The war on JPEGs begins.

The law prohibits the online distribution of any image that might "frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress" to someone who sees it. Which, really, could be virtually anything. Beyond the obvious fecal-scattering, decapitation, and other horrific things that spill forth from the internet cornucopia of perversion, the law is broad enough to affect lots of benign images. A picture of a spooky ghost? That could frighten someone! A photo of your friend's ex? Your friend could send you to jail for it! The fact that an online image of anything that offends anyone is now illegal sounds highly contrary to our 1st Amendment superpowers. Ars quotes one scholar who agrees: "Pretty clearly unconstitutional," is his verdict.

and you can probably guess which political party that claims to be afraid of government power made this law happen. :eyes:

2. I don't believe that story, but it is pretty funny.

Since most of seeing is in the viewer.


Although since I assume that is a prompt for what some think are scary videos, Here is a special clip dedicated to who ever thought that story was a good idea :rofl: and from a pretty good movie, although the movie misses on a few parts, especially the funny ending part.
