The "Duh" state, Floriduh, is almost as funny as Utah, in my humble opinion.

Ars Technica published a report detailing how Florida and Utah have [a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070507-record-shops-used-cds-ihre-papieren-bitte.html"]placed draconian restrictions on the sale of used music CDs[/a]; Wisconsin and Rhode Island may soon follow suit. In Florida, stores have to hold on to CDs for 30 days before they can sell them — for store credit only, not cash.

From the article: "No, you won't spend any time in jail, but you'll certainly feel like a criminal once the local record shop makes copies of all of your identifying information and even collects your fingerprints. Such is the state of affairs in Florida, which now has the dubious distinction of being so anal about the sale of used music CDs that record shops there are starting to get out of the business of dealing with used content because they don't want to pay a $10,000 bond for the 'right' to treat their customers like criminals."
 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
