"We're going to need to take those Trojans and that copy of Tropic of Cancer, ma'am."

I thought about naming this post "You've gotta be fucking kidding me" but then I remembered that my mom reads this blog. Hi Mom.

Anyway. I just saw on CNN.com that apparently the idiot founder of Domino's has decided that he's smarter than God. He's going to build a town where you can't get an abortion. You can't buy porn. You can't purchase birth control. No word yet on whether that includes condoms, but I'm going to assume yes. And I'm going to assume that they'll have a rather sizable maternity ward at the hospital.

So here's what I want to know. How is he going to orchestrate that, exactly? Is he going to do random medicine cabinet checks? Is he going to have kiddie filters on everyone's internet? And, more importantly, does this mean that he's defined pornography, because the Supreme Court would love to hear it, I'm sure. And where, in this scheme of religious nervana has he figured in the concept of FREE WILL.

Whatever. It won't last. You can't say that you're going to have a town, and then flounce all the laws of the state and country that surround said town. It's unconstitutional, besides being shitty.


ETA: Well, I saw these guys on the Today show this morning. Now they're saying that they'll be "strongly discouraging" these things. WHATEVER. I'm going to go ahead and stick with yesterday's assertion that they're jackasses.

Hey Jess, I thought this was ridiculous when i heard about it, too. There's the issue of trying to even control that kind of lifestyl - good luck - but then also this idea of "let's live with our heads in the sand" thinking that by banning all of these things they won't happen and the world will be perfect. I agree - I'm glad someone else heard of this ridciulousness.
