So viewing on the Internet is also illegal. I wonder if there law defined exactly what "porn" is?

Considering UT leads the nation in porn searches, they may as well just build a wall around St. George, and consider everyone to be in jail. Any guesses on how long before the first city council member that passed the law is arrested for being in violation of it?

It's going to topple on both:

1st Amendment, Free Speech

4th Amendment, Privacy

Especially if the porn is viewed from one's home.

I'm thinking.



Strange, when Utah is the top-ranked state for porn usage.

And strange, here we go again with another failed attempt at government-sponsored prohibition.

No more Sears catalogs.

Naughty naughty.

Good grief! That read exactly like an Onion article. I don't think that can hold up in court.

Hope they like spending money defending this clearly unconstitutional law. It can be challenged on free speech grounds as well as church/state grounds.. Especially now that the mayor has made a public comment that includes references to Christianity and Christ.

Living in St George == prison.

Come on, folks. This is satire.

“We will also be removing certain produce from our grocery stores; we know all the tricks of a sexual deviant.”

Look at the site's homepage: nationalreport.net

I was about to take my high-horse out of the barn again and rant a bit until you pointed out it was satire.

Come on Betsy, back to the barn.

Like I said, it read just like an Onion article! Too funny!

Laughing at myself over this one, but hey, I'm old enough to remember the "Cable Decency" acts the legislature kept passing, not to mention the video rental operations that were prosecuted.

Onward...

Interesting there is a picture of Sarah Palin at the top. The same people that are against big government are also all for that government forcing ISPs to hand over what their customers to have viewed.

The link was sent to me from a friend and without looking into very closely I posted it. it is obviously a joke. I apologize if anyone took it seriously. I live here and didn't and wouldn't have been surprised if it was true.

...sounds like St. George to me.

What's hentai?

It's Japanese for the Mormon concept of keeping women in their place.

When Michael Caine was told that in South Africa the punishment for sex with person of a different race was flogging, he asked "If I get caught may I have mine while I'm still doing it?"

Okay, I already loved Michael Caine as an actor and a person, but now he's officially in my pantheon of witty heroes.

OMG! I can't stop laughing.

So, if you grow cucumbers in your garden, plan on 30 days in the slammer.


I think everyone should plant cucumbers in their front yards next spring.

It has to be a Poe.

Oh that is hilarious. What a backwards f#*king town. I wonder if the mayor moved to the burbs out of the city limits before the law was passed. And the thing about removing certain produce almost made me spit out my latte. "Sorry but you'll have to drive to Colorado City fer yer cucumbers. They're more progressive there."

It's satire guys. My city hasn't passed a silly law like this.

I still think everyone should plant cucumbers in the front yard.

The tourists will be looking for them.

Satire works best when it's just a little toooo believable!

It's very good satire if it had me going!! I'm usually good at detecting satire! I guess the reason I didn't get it is that something like this could happen and does in Utah all the time. I'm glad I'm getting out of Utah for a while...

I love seeing how many people fell for this.

The comments are hysterical!

My favorite quote: "“If I want to watch naked girls, that’s my business. I’ll be the first one down there in front of the courthouse with a Playboy magazine in one hand and tub of Vaseline in the other.”

Satire? Uh, yeah, but it did have me going for a minute.

Wiping my eyes! If only our beloved Stake President Paternoster were still here to enjoy seeing the church standards replace civil law!

He would be so comforted and gratified to see his banner picked up and carries forth, a smooth stone rolling....

If it weren't for the line about the vegetables, I wouldn't have recognized it as satire.

And I thought the "banned produce" was going to be the melons!!!!!


Read the comments at the end of the article!
Very entertaining.
Lot of good punches thrown by former Mormons too! They land on target!

Nice laughable article.

St. George had had pompous priesthood holders walk into the national chain book stores and order the owner to take the D & D game books off the shevelves immediately!
They probably came back to later tell them to remove the Potter books too....Moral police and all that.

If you saw the movie "American Pie" one would reach the conclusion that grocery stories would have to close down their bakery/pastery sections.
