[b]Georgia state Rep. Earnest Smith is pure comedy gold. [/b]

The brain-damaged state lawmaker from Georgia is terribly, [i]terribly [/i]upset that someone used Photoshop to put his head on a porn star's body....and he's soooooooo upset that now he wants to propose legislation (!!) that would ban any kind of "lewd Photoshopping".

"No one has a right to make fun of anyone," he says.

That's right, one of our elected representatives is so unfamiliar with the 1st Amendment that he actually thinks that it's illegal to make fun of someone or parody them.

Needless to say, this is utter horsecrap, and it shows an appalling lack of understanding of the law, the 1st Amendment, and most importantly, the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect]Streisand Effect[/url]. It should come as no surprise that he's from Georgia, where the official state motto is "At Least We're Not Alabama".

If stupidity could be converted into electricity, no-one would pay a power bill again.

And the leading cause of death in the US (maybe worldwide) would be from electric shock.

If stupidity could be converted into electricity, no-one would pay a power bill again. There is so much of it everywhere. It would be too cheap to meter.
