You know what's the best part of this story? It's rife with comedic potential, that's what.

I find myself asking, "Will they have to get a warrant to search your vagina with a metal detector?" And, "When you tell the bitches in the hoosecow that you got twenty years for getting a bar through your clitoris, will they laugh hysterically from amusement or fear?"

And also, "How exactly do they distinguish the difference between a two-year sentence for piercing your genitals and a twenty-year sentence? If you pick up illegal cable with it, does that up the sentence?"

My brain is weird, methinks.

All I can think is that I'm in real trouble the next time I go to Atlanta to visit my parents. If the airport metal detector ever picks up on my "accesorizing". And then having to explain the situation to my parents.

I can handle the homeland security people.

But I don't want to ever ever ever have that conversation with the parents. They don't even know about the _navel_ ring.

Yeah, it's got comedic potential.. though I might find it funnier if they'd outlawed it for men *and* women. As it is, it reeks of Sheltered White Man Sexism.

C'mon, Reps, if you're gonna take away people's rights, let's be fair about it.

True, although I've decided I've been mad enough since yesterday and I was looking for something to amuse me. The fact that female genital piercing is so terrifying to a governing body that they'd outlaw it ... it's either be disgusted by the abject stupidity or laugh until milk shoots out my nose.

I totally understand. It's one of those situations where if you didn't laugh, you'd scream.

(although I have to admit, ranting about it was kind of fun. It's not every day I get to use the phrase "genital piercing bandits.")

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, that's just silly. Genital piercing bandits would be more fun, in an odd way. You'd just be walking down the street whistling a happy tune, when a couple of handkerchief-wearing thugs would come along and pierce your nipples at gunpoint or something.

And those are just the amateurs. Think about what the bandits who passed biology class would pierce. *nods solemnly*

Don't be silly. Men would never get their ding-dongs pierced! What are you, nuts?

(P.S. Sarcasm is fun!)

It is, isn't it? ;)

I'm laughing all the way to the airport as I move to another state.

I'm torn between jumping up and down and hugging the state of Georgia and asking what the fuvk? FGM was my MUN topic in highschool, our speech made one guy actually throw up and a whole lot of people leave the room and it didn't even involve pictures. So yes, I'm against FGM whether it be infibulation or clitoridectomy and I'm glad that the Georgia Senate is too. On the other hand, adults should be able to do whatever they want to their bodies and female genital piercing is a pretty common thing in America. I'm really wondering how these guys hadn't heard of it. Obviously, the Senator of Georgia do not watch enough porn. Boggles the mind.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wrote to the amendment sponsor and told him that while it was great that they were trying to eliminate FGM, banning adult women from getting themselves pierced was too far!

"No, officer, I wasn't muffdiving, I was trying to pick up ESPN!"

cuz I'd be suprised if diving in the muff was legal there. I don't even think you can buy a vibe in the state. You can't in Texas.

Cousins really shouldn't breed. And if they do, the offspring shouldn't be allowed to vote bills. Ye gawds.

America is weird.

i wrote my post on the subject before i saw yours; but hey, great minds think alike, right?
bloody stupid, it is.

Somewhere between the Georgia politicians, the West Virginia governor and the Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirts, and Tennessee's attempt to outlaw gays, it's entirely possible my body is trying to inch towards the other, more sane side of the Mason-Dixon line in the middle of the night out of abject fear.

I think these people don't get out much. Mmm-hmm.
