Arkansas: your kids should be working in a mine, not wanking online
Arkansas: where the people rule! (Until we, the ones decidedly ruling over the people, decide we don’t like what you’re doing and think it’s icky.)
Everyone in Arkansas is still watching their porn, from the pimply teenagers on up to the crotchety old politicians who came up with this shit.
It's all a political stunt so that the (significant) bloc of evangelical/social conservative voters in the state can feel like they got a win, and in turn they'll reelect the old white guys that signed it into law next fall.
Politicians get a win, evangelicals get a "win", and everybody keeps on watching exactly the same amount of Internet porn as they were before this law went into effect.
no one gives a shit about karma here, son
Man it's been a while since I cared about minimum karma requirements for posting. You've gotta be either obtuse (to your own detriment) or very stupid to not rack up karma.
