Says the Legislature: Ethics legislation? Golly, that’s hard. Banning genital piercing? We’re right on top of it (login). It seems to me if someone is willing to endure the risk of infections and a loss of sensitivity purely for cosmetic purposes, that should be punishment enough. Since this ban only applies to women, I guess I have another year to shove sharp objects through my scrotum legally.

The bill is HB10, for those keeping score. I would have mentioned in the first paragraph that the bill only applies to girls under 18, but that would have ruined the set-up for my scrotum remark.

In other BIG BIG NEWS, the Legislature voted to make Oct. 8 Georgia’s official Bill Elliot Day (login). Goddamn, it’s great to know my taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely.
