Give Me an E!. The Texas House has approved legislation to ban sexually suggestive routines by school cheerleaders:
 "Girls
can get out and do all of these overly sexually performances and we
applaud them and that's not right," said Democratic Rep. Al Edwards of Houston, who filed the legislation.
Edwards argued that lascivious exhibitions are a distraction for
high school students that result in pregnancies, high school dropouts,
contraction of AIDS and herpes and "cutting off their youthful life at
an early age."
If Edwards hopes to turn the thoughts of teens away from sex, he'll
have to restrict a lot more than an NC-17 rendition of "Rock Steady."
He seems to have forgotten what it was like after the adolescent change
of life known as Peter Brady, which turns the entire world into a lascivious exhibition.
When I was a teen, a legislator trying to protect me from knocking up a dropout would have banned all of the following:
- The time Laura Dumais fell into my arms and my left wrist inadvertently reached second base
- Drawing the She-Hulk naked
- A breeze of at least three knots
- Role-playing a female NPC with a charisma score of 15 or better in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
- The scene in The Sword and the Sorceror where Kathleen Beller had to be lathered in oil to prepare for her wedding
- Phoebe Cates
Good times. [Workbench]
