Of course, Alabama culture is also if the kind that differentiates between art and porn simply by whether nudity is involved. Down here, the First Amendment only guarantees your right to be like everyone else.
Nice photo.
By the by: Dayton cops interpret a mentally-handicapped 17-year-old’s speech impediment as disrespect and start yelling at him, even as neighbors tried to explain the situation. When the kid ran home to get his mom to talk to the officers, they Tasered, pepper-sprayed, and beat the shit out of him– while calling for backup.

Apropos of nothing, please tell your people at HuffPo that their site is impossible to read on my (Android) phone. The pages are huge in both bytes and pixels and take minutes to appear, if at all, unless I’m on wifi.
